<b>Confirmed-ish: links still suppress reach, but not how people think</b>
<i>Confirmed</i> (platform staff have said this repeatedly across 2023-2025): posts with an outbound link get fewer impressions than text-only posts.
<i>Rumored</i> — the penalty is reach-dampening, not a hard block, and it hits external links harder than on-platform ones.
Who it hurts most: affiliates dropping a raw link in the main post.
What it means for your reach:
— Put the link in the first reply, not the post body
— Lead with a standalone-valuable hook so the post earns reach before anyone clicks out
— A screenshot of the destination often outperforms the link itself
