Are ambiguous links awful even when there's surrounding context?

Background: we're trying to prioritize problems in a third-party application where remediation can be expensive. To say the least.

I am aware that when there's *only* a "view more" link, it's not helpful, but what about when that link is in a list alongside related links? For instance, we have a list of facets. Within the "author" section, there are 10 or so linked names followed by a "View more" link. Then there's another section for Subjects, etc. Each section is under an h2-level heading, and each list of links is within an unordered list tag (ul).

I'm aware this isn't ideal, but are we looking at a AA failure?
