I upvote the article, thanks
Gumroad show products on my affiliated product tab automatically although I didn't referred to their products or generate link for them, I became an affiliate for creators I don't know before,
I try to remove cookies but the problem didn't resolve, I still get affilation to products that I don't know.
If this problem didn't resolve I'm obliget to delete the account and go to another platform like ko-fi
Crossfire Deluxxe
That's what most are switching to
