Purple links are used in most websites for links that have been visited. On this site it's confusing as to whether you've visited these links or not.

Maybe, purple links can make a new visitor think that they have visited this site before, so potentially it increases trust in the website and the company.

Thanks for "gaslighting" me, I guess.
