Can we talk without you dropping your link when not necessary ?

So, I have notice since I entered IH that when we make a question where it does not require to drop a link, is still done.

What do I mean?
For example, let's say I ask for your backend stack, how do you approach some SEO stuff, how did you cane up with a color, and so on,...

An answer would be.

And then the real answer becomes poor and interested.
I know we want to put out projects out but is not good for us either, you will get a high bounce rate,

IH is becoming a link dropper place and we should take care of this, sometimes it makes me doubt to make an answer because I am sure someone will answer me with their link and it becomes awkward...

With this said, I have learn a lot from uninterested IH, in fact I wouldn't be where I am at this point.

Is not like I made money, but I know where to shoot...

Let me know what you think, have a great day !

    Its true and happen often. I try to avoid this in my commnets but it’s not always the case.
    Lot of people here use comments just for promotion.
    Maybe the Reddit rule 1/10 would be the way to go here

      Yeah, something like that or having a max links that you can drop.
