Just noticed that, if you type the word Amazon into a post, R2R automatically creates a link the Amazon website.

I don't, personally, like it:
Makes me think the poster is providing a link to a specific item being referenced.

Guessing the same probably happens for other common websites but not sure.

No biggie,,, just my opinion based on first impression.

It’s beyond annoying.

If it’s a glitch, so be it.

If it’s a way to drive people to A m azon and R2R gets a cut, that’s shady to say the least

It’s not shady at all. It’s called an affiliate link and almost 100% of all websites do it. I’m not going to argue this with you either. You’re not going to call our ethics into question. PM me if you want to discuss further.
