I look at is as more of a change for experienced redditors who do use those links, to save them a click. I use them a bit, but maybe they are seldom used.

But yes, good point, this would be introducing more visual clutter. Thanks for the feedback.

It's interesting that you state it like that, because it's probably overlooked by new/infrequent users.

Reddit's decision to minimize that icon button was probably an intentional pre-filtering of content.
Improved content availability is a positive feature, so this idea is a net positive change (+).

Good call!
