I'm curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?

These posts are coming from users that don't have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.

I would like to see these posts banned, but I'm curious how the rest of the community feels.

I've also been reporting them as spam (although I think my reports failed because I'm on an unstable app).
