¡This is very interesting idea! I am thinking about this since long time. ¿Is very possible that affiliate disclosure is signal of host longevity?

I write long thing then delete. Jajaja. Here is short.

I check 24 hosts from this forum. 18 with disclosure still operating. 6 without disclosure, 3 dead, 2 sold, 1 "rebranding" since 8 months. Data is very imperfect. Small sample. But suggestive.

My theory: disclosure means planning for future. No disclosure means exit preparation. ¿What you think?

Small sample but directionally useful. I've shipped pallets to disclosed-affiliate shops and ghost-run ones. The former usually have Gen 9+ Dell hardware, 1.2kW per node budget. The latter buy whatever's cheapest on Liquidation dot com, 800W max, no redundancy.

Disclosure correlates with capital planning. Not causation. Worth tracking.

Pablo wey you are onto something but also not

I see this one guy wey he discloses EVERYTHING? Affiliate links? Sponsored posts? "this is paid promotion"? Double punctuation for emphasis!

Turns out wey he is employee of RackNerd not affiliate employee same thing but different problem wey

So disclosure is honest but honesty is different thing wey you feel me

Full transparency about wrong thing wey

declarative or death
