It's ironic how you were being condescending when you used the term hotlink ("if I need to spell it out...") and yet used the term incorrectly

Ironic that you latch onto a completely inconsequential mistake to divert from the fact you had no idea what you were talking about.

I just didn't feel like further arguing.
In that guy's other comment he was talking about Meta/Facebook too which is what I'm most familiar with and was primarily referring to about people clicking on links.
Even with TikTok I bet people click on profile links more than ads
Also that's not ironic, maybe you are thinking of another word

The entire thread from the parent is about TikTok.
And "you bet" wrong, since the profile links are only enabled for business accounts.
But you're right about one thing: it was not at all ironic you'd deflect. It's exactly what I'd expect after someone misses what a thread about and makes assumptions about a subject they don't know.
That was some people call sarcasm.

I know they are only enabled for accounts that get some particular amount of views. But there are a lot of those accounts
You were the one who brought up Facebook first in your other comment...
The only way for a non-ad link to be opened from comments is to copy it and paste it in your native browser.
Business accounts get a special link field that's part of their bio, so again, deeply embedded in TikTok... and those behave exactly like the ads do. TikTok has a permanent "Flag" UI on top of the site, they replace every page load with a TikTok spinner
As expected half the people outraged don't even know what they're outraged about.
