Testing "Skimlinks" - feedback appreciated

As someone here has noticed, I am testing a new(ish) service that scans text and makes affiliate links where applicable. I think it may be good for our business, but if it is something that people find annoying I do want to know.

This is something that Pinterest did without letting people know and there was some backlash with users.

It is virtually the same thing as me posting links on the shopping page, but it is automated.

In any case, your feedback in appreciated.

Thanks -

I guess no one finds this to be offending or a deal breaker here? Lots of views on the message, no comments -

I need more clues... :roll:
I have "Do Not Track Plus" on my browser; am I missing something?
I have not noticed anything different here lately.

I also had Do Not Track on my computer, but it seemed to make my computer lock up on me, so I disabled it. In any case, I haven't noticed any links since I disabled it.

No problems with lock ups; I think it works... before installing it I had a pair of shoes I had looked at follow me all over the web, sometimes twice on the same page. Kept hearing footsteps.......
