Lead-Dev: I got a little job for you; put this list of links in the footer of our website.
Me: But... this list of links is a bunch of websites of another company...
why would that go in OUR footer?
LD: Well, Google gives a higher SEO score when two websites have links to one another.
Me: Oh, okay.
LD: Just make the list as subtle as possible. Visitors aren't really supposed to click on them.
Me under my breath: (How are these people allowed to call themselves professionals?)

    "sub for sub?"😂
    Does Google still boost you if it is "display: none"?

    Pretty sure the bot ignores elements that are "display:none;", but you could place the links in a 1px*1px div with no overflow, or just position them 10000px to the left of the viewport :D
