Ecommerce Sites Pay You To Peddle Their Affilliate Spam, But This Pin Is Not For Sale

It takes a lifetime to build up social capital, but now it's easier than ever to burn it all to earn some discounts via new ecommerce discovery site affiliate programs. But why should Fab, or The Fancy, or other Pinter-esque services care? They're not the ones getting spammed. It's Facebook and Twitter's problem. But that's bullshit. By incentivizing aggressive sharing with monetary discounts -- not a spot on some leaderboard, or (gasp!) a sense of altruism, these ecommerce sites are growing and making money at the expense of financially-strapped users and the social networks they frequent.
