"This isn’t really true in general" - I am under the impression some Social Portals only allow one like, like instagram? 'link in bio' is only one, and this is the reason there are many 'linktree' type sites right?
Also places like YouTube hide most content below the click/tap for 'more description' -
I also believe that when twitter/X published it's code it was made clear that posting anything with outside links / content made your post/tweet get less reach.. and similar has been suggested for the other social portals such as FB - that posting links to other portals gets your stuff downranked / less reach..
So links I would say are semi-allowed and restricted and use of them gets them seen less, so sharing them gets them less shared, even if not banned/shadow-banned.. although reducing the reach without explicitly telling people is a partial/mostly shadow ban imho.
Also with X walling off it's data from search engines. certainly has also caused a chilling effect of less people promoting with links - and we would see the same elsewhere as the places try to wall off more and more I believe.
