While I dislike the legislation, the problems seem to be overexaggerated similarly to NN. 8ch already uses md5 sums to detect copyrighted material. The paragraph specifically states that costs regarding the detection systems and size of the business will be considered, so in practice, 8ch probably won't need to make any changes. The real issue is how vague it is.

This might come as a surprise, but we (EU) updated our flag this year. Please use the correct one from now on.

The only silver lining here is that this is all part of a directive and not a regulation, meaning the words within are all guidelines and not legally mandatory, so it might not lead to drastic changes overnight. Also, when Spain tried this in 2014, it led to Google shutting down in the country, so whatever countries decide to adopt link taxes could overturn it within a month tops if something like that were to happen.

The frog gets boiled anyway. You are a fool if you think that it will just stay at the directive level.
Carson Anderson
It just might if it proves a catastrophic failure that hurts the EU.
Ryder Rogers
It never stays at directive level.
