PSA: Facebook links are no longer clickable

Hephep hooray! In another news of how these billionaires want to churn out more money from us simple folks, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) no longer allow us to place clikable link on our posts – or in the comments.

Curse them! Curse them all darn billionaires who want to squeeze out all the pennies that we have left. I can imagine those who use social media to earn from their affiliate links, pages who wants additional exposure and redirects to their blogs, or small businesses.

I wonder how FB groups will fare as well? Last time I tried, I was still able to post like 8 links in a single post. Is that a “hack”?

So what now?

Apparently, they launched this Meta One subscription service that brings more bullshit to their platform.
