A/B mockup — cards vs hover-preview

Hover any link with a dotted-red underline. Plain links (no underline) have no og:image and stay quiet — the editorial 80/20 cut.

Top referring domains — sample

• backpackingbongos.wordpress.com — 1 sample link · WordPress.com (quality og:image)
• territorealities.tumblr.com — 1 sample link · Tumblr (quality og:image)
• www.skylineowners.com — 1 sample link · Forum (quality og:image)
• 2ip.io — 3 sample links · Spam-adjacent (no og:image, plain link)
• br.pinterest.com — 1 sample link · Pinterest (blocks og scraping, plain link)
• www.flickr.com — 1 sample link · Self (no og:image, plain link)

Affordance language: dotted accent underline = "preview available on hover" (same vocabulary as the abbr-jargon tooltips already on every report). The plain-link rows stay visually quiet so the eye is drawn to the ones with real preview value.
