I don't know if I'm missing some context, but this seems like a really mean-spirited plug at someone. I would say this isn't appropriate for HN, and I'm not sure who would upvote this.
Here's the Chrome Extension's description:
"So you made it through the first paragraph of the Curator's Code without killing yourself only to find out that your favorite, humble, curator-person Maria Popova is generating money through affiliate links on her self-described "Ad Free" blog.
"You're angry. But don't fret.
"This extension strips Brainpickings of all affiliate revenue––giving you a truly ad free, yet still unbelievably pretentious curatorial experience that you've grown to love."
