      You can check if a button is just a link to www.freerobbux.ru

      (I hope that’s not a real site)

      Inspect the element and check the url to see its destination. It’s not perfect but it usually shows what links go to unknown sites.

        But that assume it’s not a form or javascript driven button. I would agree if you say both of those methods are sketchier, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t legit for sure.

          Maybe they aren’t legit, but I have had success using these methods.

          Edited my comment as I thought I was replying to the other guy.

            I’m saying your method can work but also just because you don’t see a link that looks right, it’s not necessarily proof of malfeasance. Could just be a weird web dev choice, or a concerted effort to keep other services from scraping links from their page. Which maybe you already know, just adding that for anyone who does not know.

              True, but with as many links as the post has it’s a good way to narrow down your options, plus I assume every link on a site like this is probably malicious in some way; no risk no reward I guess.

              And in situations where this method doesn’t work I can just revert to the ole’ holy grail strategy (which is clearly perfect in every way).
