Are pasted links broken for everyone else too?

Been noticing that URLs in every thread I check are broken as far as clicking thru, but if I copy and paste the text, they actually work. Screenshot attached. Is this broken for everyone else too (clicking links)?

If people don’t insert the links correctly, using the “Insert Link” button, then sometimes they get broken.

Here is that AE link from your screenshot inserted correctly:

Plus, you don’t need the ‘?’ or anything after it.

Same for Amazon, etc.
