An older pattern (which is arguably more well-intended) is when a site transforms all links to first go to a splash screen that says "In 5 seconds you will leave this website, so please be careful and don't blame us if you see anything bad!"
You used to see this all the time for user-generated content on web forums. I don't see it much these days.
It's worth noting that the U.S Web Design System specifically says to not use these "roadblock notices" for external links: https://designsystem.digital.gov/components/link/

I own and make my own website. But Google search stopped ranking me high about two years ago (down from 3k/day to about 70), and sometimes I feel that my life's work just gets reduced to small icons at the end of GenAI responses. But I continue to do it because I love to write and create, and sometimes readers (if they find my site) reach out. I got a "thank you" from someone in the Congo!

Lest we forget another item missing from the list: they want to be paid when you link to them!

Why does this not have 1200+ points? Sometimes people need to be reminded of the fundamentals!

Calling it "multimodal" for diffusing language is vestigial. One terminology for a technical way for encoding TLS/async protocols is through our HTTPS client, which is either a crawler or bypasses the MPC service. gtk-3 daemon is a decent lua library to start extricating.

North Korean state media (KCNA) used to use post requests for everything breaking hyperlinks and bookmarks in the process. I suspect this was to deliberately ensure a sort of memory hole process for everything that they had said in the past.
