Okay, after a mere 15 minutes it looks like around 50% of people click on them, and those that don't aren't clamouring for their removal. Point noted!

I have clicked on them, but about 50% of the time it was smartphone-fat-fingers not deliberate. Would still prefer they stay for the other 50%.

I don't use them very often, but I very much appreciate them when I'm looking for a past posting of yours to pass it on to someone else.

I find they provide extra information to the link's title.

I generally click on about half the links, and I look forward to your link posts.

I haven't. I might do in future. But if putting them in is onerous, I wouldn't miss them enormously. I tend to tag my own posts weeks later rather than as I post them, and the tags are (I imagine) mostly for my own reference.

Might be worth clarifying that you don't mean the links themselves. I read it that way at first, and there's currently one comment which suggests to me the commenter is also reading it that way.

What my other comment said.

Also note, I tend to not vote in polls, but voted in this one! :)

I rarely click like them to give context - if the article title is 'why dogs have big ears' I like to have a context as to whether the article will be a scientific one, or whether it's a funny cartoon. I'll click or not on the link, depending on what I'm on the mood for.

See, I try to make the description informative enough that one doesn't have to work it out from tags, because I primarily bookmark stuff to share on Twitter. The above results do nothing to remove my request that it be an option on your reposter, though :P

I love the links. They're an important part of my morning routine to be perfectly honest.
