Yeah, these days clicking on a link on a mobile phone sadly means putting yourself at risk of an ugly, slow loading page with a paywall or login banner and big ugly ads and a prompt to sign up for a newsletter.

I still link to things, and I try to make sure that the things I link to are non-frustrating such that people learn to trust my links over time - but that's a pretty optimistic position I'm taking there!

100%. While not entirely mitigating the issue, android Firefox lets you install the uBlock extension and that helps quite a bit for mobile browsing.
