My concerns about current regulation of "outbound links"

Hello! I do understand that rules is written and need to obey.
Let's talk about me. I've contributed to major communities, like, Outpost, Bazaar, Dispenser, Backpack, Scrap banking sites.

About communities talking here:
►backpack works mostly as outlet (high exposure)
►outpost is main site of trade listings (mostly) with high exposure
►dispenser works as games selling and base currency selling platform, quite low exposure (automated bot)
►bazaar mainly works as automated trading service with low exposure

As far as I see, these sites offer quite different experience to call them as competitors, Bazaar lacks of exposure, there is tons of "year old" threads and is pretty much "out of the game" to call it as a competitor.

For me (user who contributes by buying premium) question might come
"Is using outbound links as long as they're enriching general user experience is a bad thing?"
Automation only helps to avoid hassle of miscounting items and overcome time differences.


I see that each of these communities play's different role in general market.
So how come we avoid to move towards higher general satisfaction?
