This is much ado about nothing. Just fodder for bloggers. What Pinterest is
doing is legal and isn't unethical at all. They're not promoting their
affiliate links over anything else and Skimlinks does not alter user posted
links that are affiliate links to start with.

Pinterest is providing a service to its users and those users can choose to
use Pinterest or not. I would tell anyone upset about this "tough luck, go
somewhere else". If this were Google or Facebook there may be some reason to
be upset. But unlike Facebook or Google, Pinterest isn't a ubiquitous service
that's been adopted and deeply integrated into people's lives and way they
work. Right now is the time for Pinterest to do these sorts of things because
the more popular they get the harder it becomes.

People are focusing on the "he saw it coming" aspect of the title.

I would encourage folks to read the article with an open mind as the "he saw
it coming" is not really the point of most of what is said here.

This is is an expert who understands the realty of zoonotic spillover, and how
it is going to become a more prevalent threat over time, and how to deal with
that threat.

Of course - because it's a silly title. Give an article a silly title, expect
silly comments.

Only if you hold people to the standard of engaging with an article on the
basis of its headline instead of its substance.

We should hold everyone to a higher standard than that.

(At the very least, if the headline isn't enough to get you to read the
