Thanks.
It helps I subscribe to the forum through a RSS-reader. And then these links are more visible.

Do not beat your self up.
It seems like a very legit question.

I do not understand what the strategy is with this type of "spam".
Is it to spread the link in hopes of some SEO gain?
To harvest our minds for an AI model?
To get us to click the "invisible" link?

I've been wondering the same. These links are so small that it's extremely unlikely anyone would click on them, either accidentally or on purpose. So I guess the target "audience" is bots and link scrapers. IMO the most likely is artificially inflating a page's rank by creating many links. But page ranking by number of links is late 90s technology, I would hope current search engines are a bit more advanced...
