While we’re at it, can we ban amp links and other url tracking in general?

No punishment for doing it, but maybe have a bot to remind people.

To clarify, I’m not engaging in whataboutism, I think both of them should be banned (though maybe sometimes affiliate links have their place).

I don’t mean to be nitpicking but if the rule is zero-tolerance I think we should clear up the edge cases. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way.

• What happens when the original title is misleading or clickbait? Personally I like how HN handles things in this case (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
• How about if you want to ask a question about a news article as the main focus of the post, but also want to include context about the article?
• Or if you’re making the post to discuss a related topic, and include multiple articles?
• On that note, what even counts as a news article? What if I post a link to a reddit thread about a news article?
