    Iunno, I’m not a web dev. Reddit created its video and image hosting services to avoid fees associated with linking content from elsewhere. When you click a link, the site you came from is listed as the referrer. Past that, your question is essentially mine.

        If users aren’t loading the linked content then maybe, but that’s just pedantry.

          Its not pedantry, its just not how things work. When you load the link its the same as if you went to reddit manually and browsed to the image. The instance having a link to reddit doesn’t mean reddit can charge the instance money now. That makes no sense.
