Well these don't count as trap links though because people will already know that these are screamers

the rule says no trap links
it isn't a trap link when you're being told exactly what it contains
like if there was a music megathread and someone posted "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up" they wouldn't be banned just because of rick-roll being in the no traps links rule explanation

This explanation doesn't work because the action of rickrolling requires there not being any signs of it being a rickroll, while a screamer is just a screamer. There's no requirement besides a scary, sudden image, video or audio. It's still a screamer even if you literally say "this is a screamer," while saying "This is a rickroll" and linking to never gonna give you up is no longer a rickroll.
