- faitswulff 4y agoInteresting that the url within the parentheses isn't recognized. EDIT - actually, none of the urls are recognized as links.
- nathanaldensr 4y agoIf they were, it would be trivial to get HN readers to click malicious links.
- faitswulff 4y agoIf HN readers can't be trained not to click malicious links, then no one can xD
- the_arun 4y agoI think it is not just readers of HN. Do search engines read urls (unlinked ones) to build their index? Cause then it will be very easy for spammers to post links & take advantage of HN's high rating.
- Archipelagia 4y agoI might be wrong here, but I think most search engines ignore links from websites with open submissions (like HN or reddit) exactly for that reason.
- dan-robertson 4y agoI think it’s just that urls in the text part of a submission don’t get converted to links.
