Time stamps still Hyperlinked

I see that all time stamps in Questions/Answers/Comments are hyperlinked. I have asked a long time ago to be removed, since they offer negative impact to the site.

Why for example “4 hours ago” to be linked to one of my Questions ? What is the point ? Besides maybe we have a case of negative SEO here.

Thanks

Can you please describe what are the “negative impact” ? This is suggested by many expert, so I did it.

They have suggested that why ? for what reason ? What i see is Internal Linking (interlinking) with keywords that are totally irrelevant for SEO.

For example as i wrote above, why have Links with “4 hours ago” all over ?

I highly doubt anyone suggested that.

Can i at least know what file i must edit to manually remove this ? Thanks

This will drown seo efforts. Times stamps will be considered as keywords.

Sure but apart from the negative SEO, i ask what could be the reason for hyperlinking the timestamps ? And i find no reason and also get no reply.

Im sure he’ll comment soon.

Those are the two instances the Date is hyperlinked: I would love to know what purpose is served, in case i miss something.

Let me describe. Suppose, a user posted an answer then activity will link to that answer. By clicking it, I can go to that specific answer or activity. Imagine if there is no hyperlink and there are lots of answer and user add a new answer, without hyperlink you cannot get to that answer easily.

Ok, MAYBE i can understand the link IN the Question. But the Linked Time in the base page listing of Questions (the 1st in my picture), what purpose could serve ?

Same purpose.

But time links IN the Questions move to several Answers or comments, different each (example: https://anspress.io/questions/question/time-stamps-still-hyperlinked/#li-comment-14518).

Links to Questions base page listing, link to the SAME link always. So no purpose that i understand (example: https://anspress.io/questions/question/about-version-updates/).
