Still more random peeving triggered by previous phonetic randoming…
Substack’s internal editor for comments is AI-powered, and is eager to form links to commercial sites. I suppose they get some ad revenue from every href. When I’m writing a comment and accidentally miss a space between sentences, Substack’s editor immediately tries to form a link.It is highly annoying!
Whoops! Now the comment has an embedded outlink, complete with avatars and all, to link.it which is an Italian site that does some kind of SEO management. I have to go back and delete the outlink first before I can edit the text itself.

Sidenote: I always use the raw HTML editor here in WordPress, so nothing is ever changed automatically without my consent. Just for fun I tried switching to the default visual editor, which does perform some autocorrect crap. It didn’t automatically form the link above, so WordPress is at least slightly less grabby than Substack!
