Can you stop adding tracking to the links?

Any time I click on a link in a slickdeals forum post, it never is actually the link the person posted, it is some sort of Slickdeals link that malwarebytes and ublock origin blocks because you guys add redirects and tracking to it. Can you not do this? It makes me hate this site to be honest.

I also get annoyed when something adds extra clicks, but you should be able to add Slickdeals or the common trackers to the whitelists in those apps. While there is a lot of unwanted tracking on the web, Slickdeals getting paid for deals you like so it can show you more deals that save you money might be an example of less unwanted tracking.
