My problem is that I've noticed certain words in posts, in my case "radiator", being highlighted automatically. When you hover on them the message "Link added by VigLink" appears and if you click, you're taken to an Ebay page referring to radiators, or whatever the word is.
Once you're aware of this devious little ploy you can ignore it. But to me it sucks. Just another nasty litle intrusion into one's privacy. Another little bait being thrown out to get you to spend spend spend.
If the author is using highlights to refer the reader to a photo or an article or another thread, then that to me is a justified use of the method, but using it automatically as an avenue to Ebay? That annoys me immensely.
