    I’m saying your method can work but also just because you don’t see a link that looks right, it’s not necessarily proof of malfeasance. Could just be a weird web dev choice, or a concerted effort to keep other services from scraping links from their page. Which maybe you already know, just adding that for anyone who does not know.

      True, but with as many links as the post has it’s a good way to narrow down your options, plus I assume every link on a site like this is probably malicious in some way; no risk no reward I guess.

      And in situations where this method doesn’t work I can just revert to the ole’ holy grail strategy (which is clearly perfect in every way).
