Links have been essential tools for navigating the web and sourcing information – but they are on the decline as tech companies try to keep audiences from clicking away.

      I believe it means existing links, which many are already gone. Not the ability to link.

          That was my guess, I can’t get the page to load due to an error. Maybe AI’s fault too?

            Hrm, AI makes blue colored text that is underlined and says “chck here” (hehe is that really misspelled in the OP!? anyway in my hypothetical here it is!:-P), but it doesn’t go anywhere!? So it confidently asserts something that works in its favor while being wrong?

            Naw, I blame Reddit for that behavior:-).
