@glyph @simon @daniel but then I don’t understand “link in bio restrictions”. If creators have their own website it would take them 10 minutes to make their own link in bio and save the… what… 5$ a month for link tree?

@eb @simon @daniel a lot of them don’t have their own website. Why would they? 99% of their business takes place on a constellation of “socials” and they just need a place to link to them all

@eb @simon @daniel so the ones who *do* have their own websites still use linktree because it’s legible to the audience and culturally expected

@glyph @simon @daniel I think culturally expected is key here because ^^^ the context was “people that have their own site but still use linktree”

@eb @simon @daniel there are potentially lots of reasons. A linktree is just a list of strings and hyperlinks on a webpage, but then, so is a fediverse profile really, and we don’t all self-host those. The presence of features around its purpose make it easier to work with than a custom page on a custom site, well worth the $5 to save a couple hours of maintenance a year for someone doing this professionally
