I'm really confused by this skimlinks discussion. Does this mean FT essentially steals any cashback link I click on? Let's say, I have FT open in one tab, and Fatwallet cashback in another, I click to purchase something (from the Fatwallet tab), and FT somehow "skims" the revenue? Or does this only pertain to clicks that originate directly from the FT tab? Thanks for explaining!
