    have the raw clicks to cause an issue on properly-maintained websites.

    That’s been true of Reddit forever now as well, I only ever remember the Hug of Death actually affecting only small time websites that probably had maybe like 3 people running it.

    Links to anything else was usually just fine, barring a few exceptions because even the big boys make fuck ups too

    But nowadays the bar to “properly maintained” is lower with more mature, robust and easier to use tooling
