I read that comment, but I know for a fact that’s not the only way to log clicks.

I’m very curious what these knowledgeable users say.

Rule 1 of the internet is “check the link before you click” and these man in the middle forwarding systems make that impossible.

I have a different association with “enshittification” but I definitely don’t support this change because it’s a security problem, you’re totally dependent on their moderation to keep you from clicking sketchy links.

You’re not wrong with the comparison, but the whole point of the computer having control over the vehicle is that this doesn’t happen, despite the driver’s abject negligence.
