linking leads to people feeling the urge to link – like a scholar
feeling an urge to cite as many things as they can so they seem more
knowledgeable; also some form of the sunk cost fallacy, where they don’t
want to not use something they’ve found. (see colewb)
“once you have an acronym, everything looks like a compliment or an
insult”
linking to catchy titles/phrases changes their meaning (there once
was comment on LW about this)
