Amazon linking when it’s just the word?

[Reefing102]

Forgive me if this has been discussed but recently I noticed that if I just type the word Amazon without linking to any product it still creates a link to Amazon. Kinda annoying but I just wanted to make sure that’s supposed to be happening. @revhtree

This has been bugging me too!

Why don’t we just call it Scamazon instead?

We have an affiliate link to the website. I'm pretty sure that's why it does that

So if we're discussing fish from the amazon amazon is automatically creating a link to Amazon?

EDIT.interesting. Now it isn't doing it

Yes. I bet fish from the Amazon are almost never mentioned here though

Now it's really strange because mine were not showing as links on my end but now that you quoted me they are.

I like @UncommonSense suggestion of scamazon instead, its more fitting

So Amazon pays for that.
