  1. I do not understand why google should decide how I will use a button on a page. I want as a user that a button could take me to another page/content. For instance a button, when you click it takes you to a specific product. What did I miss here?

  2. The myth I'd like busted is "are the guests on this series really this naive to SEO basics"? I'm hoping that it's just an act, else it's quite concerning that a popular library creator (https://preactjs.com) doesn't already know this. But it's not just Jason, some of the other guests [voluntary actors] are in reputable roles as well.
