Need to be a distinctly brighter blue so that readers actually see them. I’m sure they’re intentionally bypassed, as I do myself, sometimes, but we’re wasting out time setting up those links when they’re, for the most part, unnoticed.  
Maybe not “distinctly brighter” like ESPN’s distinctly annoying puck circle back in the 90s, but at least not as dim as they are now.

TPTB must attend to this post-haste!!! 🙂

Hard to know what you’re complaining about without knowing what you’re seeing. What theme are you using?

Oh-oh - dumb question time:  
Not too sure what you mean by theme. Like, Sultantheme? 🤪 😳  
I use Chrome? Windows 10?  
I’ll bet I’m not helping so far.

Click on your avatar, Profile/Preferences /Interface.

I’m on my cell phone with Straight Dope Light theme. Links are nearly indistinguishable.

Ah - it’s also Straight Dope Light theme.  
TIL! thx 🙂  
I then tried “dark”, then “vincent”, and then didn’t bother looking at any others. 🤷‍♂️
