For all those complaining about linking to crap sites, here's a way to do so without giving them link juice.

According to the site's front page it is used by reddit so i am assuming its use does not violate the reddit rules.

Thanks to user Gstreetshit for finding it.

Ugh, please don't use donotlink.com.

Use archive.is, or freezepage, or other archival sites, but

donotlink

does not make it easy to get to the original site. (Need to right click, show this frame only)
does not reduce traffic to the site, just obfuscates the referral link

It's a pain in the ass.

Also consider what pissing in the ocean does to the sea water level. Donotlink will have little effect on the traffic to a site. All donotlink does is make it hard for anyone to follow a link. And yeah, the net is built on links, I find it obnoxious for people to break that fundamental principle.

archive.is and freezepage will

block traffic to the site
provide a link so people who wish to visit the original site can do so easily

And fwiw, donotlink is a favorite tool of the Social Justice League who love to distort blog posts and other sorts of content, then under color of "I don't want to give them traffic" post donotlink links to the posts in order to actually discourage people from visiting the post and seeing what the post really says.
