Yeah I am not against people making money. In this case if just felt distasteful and not properly disclosed.
Most people will probably know that that affiliate link benefits the mod of that community, but many won't. People might just think "Oh wow that's cool, thanks for sending me in the right direction you charitable mod".
The problem is the lack of disclosure and the overall disingenuous feeling, not that someone is making cash.
