Do you really think we need a thread asking merely which is better: Investment or affiliate? You might as well be asking how long is a piece of string. That's like asking whether you can make more money on the internet or the real world. There's a million factors involved in that but all you're going to get is pages of sig spammers saying one or the other. Do we really need threads about:
Gambling is the way to lose or make the profit
poker or roulette
can you lose money or make money gambling
can you win or lose money with gambling
do you gamble with bitcoin or fiat
does gambling make you depressed or happy
do you use your right hand or left hand when gambling
is gambling fun or not fun
does gambling make you happy or sad
does gambling make you sad or happy
does gambling make you happysad or sadhappy
have you ever gambled on the toilet
how long do you gamble for
do you prefer gambling or throwing your money directly into a volcano
what is more entertaining: gambling or just burning your money
That entire section has always been a cesspool of shit but it's got an extra boost lately thanks to all the Stake shitposters.
AFAIK, mods get paid by theymos in proportion with their work done. It seems to be a case of a mod trying to show more work to get more payment. Someone most likely reported your thread and a mod of the Gambling discussion section just removed the it without even checking. This should be brought to the notice of theymos.
Awesome hypothesis, Einstein. Mods don't need to go looking for things to do. Do you honestly think a thread titled Investment or affiliate has been removed in error? Did op write a thesis on which is better or more profitable?
