[Hyperlink Blocked] could be something like "Detachment".

a lot of the fandom seems to think that it's "Determination" or "LOVE"/"Level of Violence" b/c of this usage

NO, I GET IT! IT'S YOU AND THAT [Hochi Mama]! YOU'VE BEEN [Making], HAVEN'T YOU! YOU'VE BEEN MAKING [Hyperlink Blocked]!

and its implication that whatever mew were doing to Noelle during the weird route is essentially the production of whatever [Hyperlink Blocked] is. "Determination" in this case is referring to the Determination of Undertale's merciless route, which is effectively determination to get stronger and complete mewr goal, the ability to gain strength by detaching mewrself from the characters and the narrative as a being above the fiction. Rather than being a lightner suspending their disbelief and taking part in this dark world story, mew have the determination to not immerse mewrself in the dark world and remain a lightner in a world of darkness where objects are still objects. "Level of Violence" is roughly the same thing, as sans himself says in Undertale:

* LOVE, too, is an acronym. * It stands for "Level of Violence." * A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt. * The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself.

both "Determination" and "LOVE"/"Level of Violence" are concepts in the merciless route of Undertale that either represent or lead to detachment, and i think that the 11 uses of "[Hyperlink Blocked]" in Deltarune back me up a decent bit, which i'll talk about below the read more:

* THAT'S RIGHT!! NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A [[BIG SHOT]]!! * AND I HAVE JUST. * THE THING. * YOU NEED. * THAT'S * [[Hyperlink Blocked]]. * YOU WANT IT. * YOU WANT [[Hyperlink Blocked]], DON'T YOU. * WELL HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!! * ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW ME. * YOUR [[HeartShapedObject]].

The first two times [Hyperlink Blocked] is brought up aren't really good evidence for any theory b/c Spamton is trying to pitch [Hyperlink Blocked] as a solution to Kris's problems. However, in this case, "Detachment" would be a great solution to Kris's little "being possessed" problem, wanting to be detached from the Soul controlling them. Additionally, Kris would want detachment from the narrative of Dark Worlds b/c they have some other reason for opening Dark Fountains and diving into the Dark Worlds that has nothing to do with the stories contained within.

I WAS ONLY EVER IN IT FOR THE [Freedom]. TO MAKE YOUR OWN [Deals] TO CALL YOUR OWN [Shots] AND SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING, A LITTLE [Hyperlink Blocked] SOUNDS GOOD. DOESN;T IT?KID? DON'T YOU W4NT TO BE JUST LIKE YOUR OLD PAL SPAMTON???? TAKE THE DE4L.

Again, Spamton is just pitching [Hyperlink Blocked] to Kris as the solution to their problems, but he's also trying to make himself out to be someone who has [Hyperlink Blocked], which he kiiiiinda does if we're taking [Hyperlink Blocked] to mean "Detachment". He received some form of knowledge that drove him to madness and made him desperately seek to become "bigger" and reach for "H E A V E N", the latter of which has some few lines hinting that "Heaven" is the Light World. Spamton has knowledge that he's attached to the Dark World, and that in and of itself is othering, just as Jevil was othered by the same knowledge and locked away. Both of them became detached from their own Dark World and the darkners within.

WHAT!?!? YOU DON"T NEED IT!?!? THAT'S A REAL BIGSHOT MOVE KID!!! YOU'RE LIKE ME... [Desperate] BUT WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT, DON'T WE!? W1LD PR1ZES, HOTSINGLE, 100 CUSTOMER, AND MOST OF ALL... [Hyperlink Blocked]. WILL YOU TAKE THE FINAL DEAL!? REMEMBER... THIS IS UP TO YOU! I WOn'T FORCE YOU.

And very shortly after the previous usage of [Hyperlink Blocked] where Spamton is implying he has [Hyperlink Blocked], he's now implying he's desperate for more! He still wants to entirely detach from the Dark World and go to "Heaven"

* AND DON'T… FORGET! * TO [[Like And Subscribe]] FOR MORE [[Hyperlink Blocked.]] * HAEAHAEAHAEAHAEAH!!

and

* DON'T FORGET TO [Like and Subscribe] FOR MORE [Hyperlink Blocked]!

"Don't forget to like and subscribe for more detachment from the narrative" have mew ever been watching a youtube video and been really immersed in it... and then suddenly the youtuber plugs their channel right in the middle of it and pulls you out of what mew were watching, detaching mew from what you were immersed in?

...okay, i'll admit this isn't the strongest example, but it's still something in the face of these gag lines referring to youtubers trying to increase their revenue by plugging their channel, just as Spamton is trying to increase his Kromer intake.

* LISTEN. IN THE [Deep Abyss] OF QUEEN'S [Mansion] * [[A Great Deal]] IS WAITING For [[A LimiTed Time Only!]] A HEAVEN-PIERCING [[Workout-Ready Body]] * [[Designed BY The Classics You've Come To Expect! (C)1997]] * KRIS THAT [Little Nipper] IS OUR [One-way Ticket] TO MAKE YOU [Big]. MAKE ME [Big]. * BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WE WILL BE TAKING [ A Ride around Town on Our Specil Cungadero] * VACATIONING IN [Burning acid] WHILE YOU SOAK IN THE [Hyperlink Blocked].

Spamton has no idea what his "Heaven" is like, maybe it does have [Burning acid] ! Either way, if they've gotten "BIG" and escaped the Dark World, then yeah, they will be entirely detached from the narrative of the Dark World, both of them will be! They'll be free to soak in it, even. Too bad Spamton doesn't know that Kris is trapped in another, larger narrative in the Light World.

* I USED TO BE NOTHING BUT THE E_MAIL GUY, NOW I'M THE [[It Burns! Ow! Stop! Help Me! It Burns!]] GUY! * [[Amazed at thi5 amazing transformation? You too can]] HAVE A [[Communion]] WITH [[Unintelligble Laughter]] * SOON I'LL EVEN SURPASS THAT DAMNED [[Clown Around Town!]] * BUT UNLIKE HIM I'M GONNA [[Shoot For the Sky!]] AND GET ON THE PATH TO … * [[The Big One]] * I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. * [[Hyperlink blocked.]]

This is the usage that apparently had people thinking that [Hyerlink Blocked] could mean more than one thing, b/c it seems to imply that the word could be an adjective. If [Hyperlink Blocked] really is "Detachment", then this specific usage could just be "Detached". This is also the usage that implies that "[[Clown Around Town!]]" Jevil may also have some [Hyperlink Blocked] of his own. As described above, Jevil realized that his world was "just a game" and decided to "leave" it by putting a jail around the world, attempting to detach himself from it. He's certainly got his own share of detachment from the narrative of his Dark World!

* KRIS!!! YOU DID IT!! YOU [[Funky]] LITTLE [[Worm]]! YOU BROUGHT ME THE DISK!! * HOCHI MAMA!!!! I CAN FEEL THAT [Smooth Taste] ALREADY!! * … NOW KRIS. DON'T BE GREEDY. HAND OVER. THE DISK. * THEN WE WILL TRANSFER. * MY [[Hyperlink Blocked]].

This is possibly the weakest example of [Hyperlink Blocked] potentially being "Detachment". Unless Spamton himself has become entirely consumed by his desire to detach from the story and narrative of the Dark World, he wouldn't describe his mind and personality as his "Detachment". Fortunately for this theory, though, he does seem consumed by this desire to detach and get "bigger and better than ever". He wants to transfer his detachment to the new body so he can continue to chase his goal of reaching "Heaven"!

* THEN. KRIS. AFTER. THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. * GO BACK. AND PUT. THE DISK. BACK. WHERE YOU GOT IT. * DO THAT… AND YOU HAVE MY [Specil Guaranttee] I WILL [[Pass My Savings Onto You!]] * EVERY [Big], EVERY [Shot], EVERY [Hyperlink Blocked], ALL YOURS, KRIS.

Another weak example, but it goes back to Spamton trying to sell this idea of Detachment being what Kris needs. He seems to be offering the knowledge that lead him to understand who and what he is, that information that othered him and forced him into the beginning stages of his detachment from the Dark World.

* NO, I GET IT! IT'S YOU AND THAT [Hochi Mama]! * YOU'VE BEEN [Making], HAVEN'T YOU! * YOU'VE BEEN MAKING [Hyperlink Blocked]!

Welcome back to the where we started, with Kris making [Hyperlink Blocked] with Noelle.

During the Weird Route, you/Kris directs Noelle to detach from the story of the Dark World, she becomes disconnected and uncaring for the "people" she's freezing, b/c they're just objects, they're just part of a dream, they're not real. She's following the directions she's being given and "completing" the "game". You/Kris manipulate(s) her into situations she doesn't want to be in by choosing for her that those things are what will happen. You/Kris force(s) her to Proceed until she understands the "rules" of the "game" and begins to freeze puzzles on her own. She goes through the motions of "completing" the "game" to the point that, when coming up to Berdley, she doesn't even realize who it is. She's become so detached that she doesn't notice that the next "Enemy" is someone she knows. and if you push her further, to get her to use a spell she doesn't even know in order to force her to continue to "play" the "game", she does so, and she continues to do so even to the very end when she freezes Spamton.

You have/Kris has made her detached from the narrative of the Dark World, so she has gained the power of someone who refuses to immerse themselves into a story. A story in a book is just words on a page if you don't immerse yourself in it. You can paint over the words. You can burn the pages. You can freeze the book. And when you're done with that, you can move on to "read" the next book, to "play" the next "game".

You have absolutely been making detachment during the Weird Route, that's like the thing that you are doing, like it's the whole point! Even to the degree that Noelle seems more fixed on the "other voice" that isn't Kris's and Berdly ends up frozen solid, detaching Kris from both of them. Spamton is on the very long and pointy nose with this one, if [Hyperlink Blocked] is truly "Detachment."

and to wrap up, "Hyperlink Blocked" is literally a connection from one webpage to another that has become disconnected and detached. You can't follow this link, the destination is detached from where you are!!
