Here's an example. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/i-updated-my-crusty-... Ars Technica has certain posts, clearly marked with a header and everything, that include Amazon affiliate links. Easylist has a specific list of sites, mostly tech sites, which are not allowed to use Amazon affiliate links. It's not a general ban on affiliate links, and blocking them this way simply removes the text from the middle of a sentence. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/i-updated-my-crusty-... and the response from the maintainers https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/3524

This sort of issue is usually worked around in uBO when they are reported on uBO's own filter issue tracker: <https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues>.

Wow yeah, that does look pretty terrible. Going to sub to that issue, thanks for the link.
