- anothernewdude 2y agoThank you!
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoI think this is a hold-out from old-school blogging, where each post would have a url that was often an external link. Feeds often reinforced this, favouring the external link over the 'blog post permalink' (I guess since, who would care about that when they already have the full text content?). On the site's home page, the posts include a "" link which points to the post itself. I'm guessing the reason the posts don't link to themselves is another hold-out from the old-school: a page linking to itself was typically considered bad practice.
- IceDane 2y agoI had to come here to see if anyone else was dumbfounded. The site is just generally awful to read.
- superfish 2y agoI ended looking for the link then clicking the apparently first link “Via Jason Snell”. In that page the link to the tournament is also the header (which I did not notice). The last paragraph on that page had a link to the tournament and that’s what I ended up clicking. I’m glad I’m not the only one
