What is with those random "Amazon online offers" posts? Pretty frequent posts of users without any previous background... Thoughts?

That links is just redirectors to https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox?ref_=nav_cs_gb&_encoding=UTF8&linkCode=ur2

To avoid banning by URL.

Link itself contains ref_ parameters that contain tag for Amazon Attribution API:

Amazon Attribution is a measurement product that enables advertisers to understand the impact of their non-Amazon marketing strategies on driving Amazon shopping activity. Advertising is measured by including attribution tags on non-Amazon media across paid and organic channels including search, social, display, video, email, third-party affiliate marketing, and more.

nav_cs_gb tag is Amazon's own tag you get f.e. if you go to amazon.com and click "Today's deals".

Thanks for unfurling this. I've never clicked it but was always curious about the encoding
