It's sadly basically unavoidable
Why don't more distros use this method? (click here and find out)
No they don't.
It's absolutely not. Even if it were, including context when sharing third party links is also not unavoidable.
You can't click it and find out, because I don't know. It was a genuine question. There's a picture explaining exactly what I'm talking about. I don't make money using this account, I have no motivation to use clickbait.
I agree adding context is great, ideally even add a summary so a person doesn't have to click.
"You can click it and find out." How is that not clickbait?
Read it again. You missed a letter.
Oh my bad lol, didn't have a close enough look at that post
