Readability helps understanding and learning texts while also makes it more fun to read - it is proven.
Copy-pasted URLs on Steemit without proper formatting are ruining even the finest content for me. Is it just me with my ADD or is anyone else in the same boat?
For example:
Click here https://www.google.com/search?q=google&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=628&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5zMHWwobOAhUIXiwKHdoDDJwQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1.5#imgrc=d17bs433135155g1213g3g13gg55g1345lxLqp9bOM%3A in the text
Or
Click here in the text.
It is so easy to do this with a pair of brackets and parentheses.
This is how: [Click here](https://www.google.com/search?q=google&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=628&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5zMHWwobOAhUIXiwKHdoDDJwQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1.5#imgrc=d17bs433135155g1213g3g13gg55g1345lxLqp9bOM%3A)
Which one looks better? You be the judge!
Thanks for reading!
Kind regards,

Honestly I like full links unless there's a specific word I want to define or something along those lines. Other then that, I'd rather see additional links like footnotes at the bottom of the page. The full link actually has information in it, I can usually figure out if it's a decently credible website from that alone and whether it's worth clicking on.
"Life itself is subjective", nothing but my opinion though.
Thanks for reading and your thoughts on the subject.
Look at this full link for example: www.steemit.com. It looks legit but it takes you to somewhere else and that is why it is so dangerous. We are better off to have a look on our browser's link bar before clicking on a full link. Once we do that anyway, what is the point of using full links?
