I really don't like how people don't use link posts but simply copy the link content and then add the link at the bottom. It feels like they are gaming our attention.
I just clicked on a post where I immediately scrolled to the bottom because I wondered if the link would be there. And indeed, there it was.
Come on guys, you're better than this.
I haven't noticed much of that lately, freebie. It seems like we have lots of link posts. I do wish people would add some text to describe the linked content or offer a few thoughts about it, rather than just have the links.

My problem is if they don't do that but hide in the feed that it's not their content but from a link by not using a link post.
At least they include the link at the bottom but it's still deceptive.
We have lots of link posts but we also have lots of link posts disguised as discussions.

Oh, yeah, I have noticed that. My bad.

For example 👀
I prefer adding the link in the post so I can make a snarky comment along with the link. Why do you wish to take that joy from me?
