I'm not a fan of the title of this post, but I agree with the message: links to a wide range of contents are good, and locking users into a linkless site is wrong. "We're rapidly losing fluency in what the internet could look like," writes Anil Dash. "We're almost forgotten that links are powerful, and that restraining links through artificial scarcity is an absurdly coercive behavior." That's why I consider the service I perform with this newsletter to be uniquely valuable.
