YMMV / Linked

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Is ReelTok withholding information he has about the tagger just to get more viewers for his channel, or does he have some grudge against the past and/or present townspeople and want to draw out their humiliation like Dana briefly suspects?
  • The Reveal that Pamela is the main Swastika tagger and is indeed motivated by racism raises some questions about what kind of subtle negative influences she might have over her circle of friends. Is her influence the reason that Link initially doesn't dwell on the horrifying significance of Swastikas or that Michael thinks Pamela's longtime boyfriend Jordie is somewhat racist? And is it just a coincidence that her group of friends are enthusiastically involved in pranking a group of scientists whose number happens to include a Jewish couple and an Asian man while viewing their kids as outsiders?
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Sophie never has a POV section and is barely mentioned in the last quarter of the book despite being Pamela's best friend, having a crush on Link, getting some minor Ship Tease with Pouncey, and being one of the most imaginative pranksters in her group of friends. Her reactions to Link and Pamela being the Swastika taggers is never even mentioned.
