Can you all share some personal blog posts about the musings of the web training people to fear and not use links?

I just encountered a Facebook group, because people don't want to leave Facebook for some reason, and they ban the use of links for two reasons.

* It encourages promotion.
* Facebook doesn’t like them.

I can't stand how the modern internet is training people to fear links and hate links.

It's especially annoying for me because people just post screenshots of book titles on websites and I'm thinking, you'd have far less comments of sighted people asking what the title is if you'd just allow links.

Ugh! Sometimes, people tire me out.

Agreed, and also:

Posting a link enables me to assess how reliable the information is and confirm that the poster hasn't edited it, taken it wildly out of context, or posted a version of the text that has since been corrected. (I once saw an anti-vaxxer post a screenshot of an unfortunately-worded headline that had been corrected on the source Web site, but I had to do a Web search to find that out. He knew exactly what he was doing.)

You nailed it! Plus, like, as a group admin, don't you get tired of like a billion comments asking what does that screenshot say? And these are from sighted people! @JustGrist

Yeah! Editing it soon, but there honestly should have been just one, but I know what happened, so can better adjust the next time! But editing it soon. @freeplay

None of us have the time or the sheer expertise/knowledge base to teach every single ding dong in a group why they might be talking out of their ass.
