I might be misunderstanding you, but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites.

" ... but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites."

There's certainly some sort of misunderstanding going on, because now I have no idea what that is supposed to mean or refer to.

My original intended point:

I do not want to see more posts such as "Every BBC Essential Mix, 1993 to 2010". When they do appear, I prefer people not up-vote them; it just encourages more of the same.

I do, however, like certain posts that accumulate a multitude of links to a variety of music sources. And it was a post of that kind that was (incorrectly) presented as some sort of precedence for the current post.

In any event, these things will sort themselves out as people prefer.

Yes there is.
