  For what it’s worth, those links must have been very recently added to AniList since the bot hadn’t picked them up when the post was made. Often, links to streaming services can’t be added until after the first episode is live since the urls aren’t public until that point. Sometimes, if a streaming provider is known ahead of time, they will have a placeholder link to the homepage of the service until it is updated later.

  For example, if you check out the post for Princess Lessons episode 1, the Crunchyroll link that the bot has is simply pointing to the homepage. However, if you go to the AniList page for the series, you can see that the Crunchyroll link has been updated to point to the actual series page. The bot will fix this with time (it refreshes those links once a week iirc), but the very beginning of each season is a bit wonky.
