Need help with a blog advertising question

so im building a blog with soft sell affiliate driven articles,

my question is - do the affiliate links must be cloaked for me to advertise on google / facebook (paid) ?

i mean, im not direct linking and all the links sit on a legit article, in that case the landing page,
should i encounter any problem? will my ads wont get approved? (considering the subject of LP is legit)

another thing that i couldnt find closure about after all the reading,
what is the preferable method to use affiliate links in Comments like in youtube qoura and such,
and for Reddit and organic facebook, like posting in groups?

should i use cloaking for all the above (organic/guerilla), should i use a shortener?

if cloaking, something simple like pretty links? or a script?

or one of the expansive ones for the market place with all the extra features (to make it safer i guess)

IN SHORT:

i want to use PPC to a pre lander which have the offers on it, legit page, will i must be using Cloaking?

i want to organically promote the link too, what is the best way to "mask" it so it wont tell its affiliate link?
will reddit / qoura / facebook / native networks allow for said link to be published?

i would VERY appreciate any help! this is hopefully soon to become a journey!

For the first one: honestly depends on your landing page, the overall quality of your site, and what the content is. Google is not consistent at all, so one person might sneak thru while someone else's ads get blocked. Try it and see.

Confused on the 2nd question. Do you mean affiliate links straight in the comment? Or a link to your affiliate blog post?

Thanks for your reply,

for that matter, i care about both, and when referring to blog post, i refer to any landing page.

i ask this because sometimes the offer comes with a pre lander which is also an affiliate link, so i want to cover both ends.

obviously using the "blog" link in organic places like comments should be totally fine isnt it? but what if i do want it masked or cloaked whats the best practice to post it on social networks.
