Posted March 20, 2025 by Opals in STEM

I posted something to this effect yesterday. Since many of us will be buying/using the same products such as VPNs or online banking like Wise or Revolut, is it possible that we can post referral links here so that our referral goes to another woman, as opposed to, say, a male YouTuber who is pushing his referral link?

One downside I see is that a referral link might leak your personal info - for example your username there, or real name. (or nothing at all, it really depends on the site).

Users might click your link and see "[name] has invited you to join [online bank]!"

Or, (off-chance, but possible) a lurking TIM who works at the place you're referring to could look up your invite code and doxx you that way.

If you're going to share codes, it might be safer through DMs with trusted users. You never know what info is encoded in a specialized link/code.
