You fail to comprehend what ignore means and your signature on this board is even more laughable than most of what you post

Tell me again how you are going to calculate the revenue per click on a discounted membership or new promo content before the sponsor even gives you access to either?
The idiotic threads are about shaving, leaks and conspiracy theories. All of that is automatically counted in your NET $/click. You don't even have to add a line item for any of it. What they paid you already automatically includes all of it every time without any exception.

Now you are trying to EXPAND that to say you are unable to place a value on certain things a sponsor provides. That is a different question entirely. Had someone started a thread saying "How much do you think getting a discounted membership link from a sponsor is really worth?" that would have been a meaningful discussion where people could exchange data and past experience with that sponsor or other similar sponsors. It has nothing to do with leaks or shaving or conspiracy nonsense.

To answer your question more specifically, I have gotten discount link codes from dozens and dozens of sponsors. I know what I usually earn AND roughly how much that number changes when I use a discount link code instead. More importantly, by the 2nd or 3rd period I know exactly how much my Net $/click is with any particular sponsor while using a discounted link code.

Here is a fact that may surprise you, some sponsors pay MORE per click with full price codes than with discounted codes and record more sales with them as well. Now, why would that happen? Do people want to pay more for a site and buy it more often if the price is higher... I DONT GIVE 2 FUCKS. Is the sponsor actually shaving discount links more than non-discount links? Who Cares. Is there some other reason? ZERO FUCKS GIVEN. That is all the sponsor's problem to figure out, not mine as an affiliate. I only need to focus on earning the highest $/click.

I have had site owners tell me "you dont want a discount link, the full price will earn you more." I don't ask twice, I dont ask for an explanation. They are supposed to know what works best for their own program. So I use the full price link. Now what happens if they pay me less as a result and Id have earned more with a discount link? That becomes THEIR problem because if I can sell my clicks to someone else with a better $/click, guess what I am going to do?

It always comes back to $/click. Your ignorance to it or on and off nonsense about ignoring my posts has zero to do with the actual value of the single most important stat in all of affiliate marketing.
