Some of these hyperlinks are so damaging to a device and as Cherrytree says it's so easy to click and think later.
Years ago, I received an email from someone who had a virus on their PC. It then sent emails to all my contacts, went all through the local Authority Education Network and then into my husband's email system at work and all the way to their HQ in Finland, all because someone had originally clicked on a dodgy link.
Thank goodness the anti virus software stopped it in time.
The person who sent the email's solution was to switch off his PC, thinking that would sort things.
He was so dismissive, not realising the damage he could have done!
Never download from a source you don't know, but that is what this poster was advising on the thread about space bars on a phone and on the Windows 10 thread.
