Link loads large data. Image loads small data.
Why use many data when few data do trick?
This is super backwards to me, isn't a link just a string of characters whereas an image is like tons of strings basically?
Yes, but you have to click the link and load a webpage, and a webpage (usually) has way more data than an image
