- extraduder_ire 3y agoI'm especially annoyed on sites like reddit when the "show more comments" link is sometimes a button that will expand inline, and sometimes a link that will take you to another page with some parent comments and some of the child comments. I have to look for "javascript: void 0;" in the URL preview before clicking, which I often forget.
