It has literally no purpose except to be annoying and make people think that there's a hyperlink, only to redirect them to a random GBATemp page. Who added this? Who thought that it's a good idea? Why can't we disable this?

Can you give me an example?
I think they mean things like Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, maybe reviews and cheats too? It’s just small things to link within the forum set to certain keywords.

Edit:
Seems only cheats worked out of those, that’s interesting. I guess it’s less aggressive than I remembered.

I think they are needed for greater clarity, but it makes sense to send us to random pages

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
