Show HN: I talked to 917 ecommerce software users. Here's what I found.

Maybe I am too critical or just hyper-sensitive to this, but it&#x27;s an affiliate site submitted by the creator almost identical to another affiliate site in his profile following a very similar formula - &quot;social proof&quot; reviews with ratings, and an affiliate link (if the company offers one).<p>I get trying to make money online, I&#x27;m doing it too, but putting up a bunch of quotes (with no attribution) and screenshots and then trying to get an affiliate commission off of <i>Shopify</i> just seems... too low-effort? I don&#x27;t know.<p>I&#x27;d be much more impressed with one person&#x27;s in-depth review of the pros and cons of <i>each</i> platform, with an affiliate link to whichever one they felt was the best, than from something like this.

I don&#x27;t see the reason for the critical review of this. It&#x27;s a helpful site that runs through data and pulls out useful&#x2F;actionable information.<p>As someone who has also considered creating a static site builder, my (hypothetical) service would benefit from such a lookup.<p>IMO, An affiliate link is not an AD, not tracking me, and is probably the least intrusive way of monetizing a useful service.
