I was told that it’s great that there’s lots of links here. Links are kind of a chore, but an obsessive habit (from academic times). There’s some semi automation happening but the main downsides are: Checking if they still work Checking if relevancy hasn’t changed The other con || pro (take your pick): Friends more in the know, may dissect && tear you a new one when the content and the link disagree (with reality). Insanely knowledgeable people are also out there online too. On occasion, when I bother with emails, I always end up learning extremely fascinating stuff.
