At this point I don't even care what it looks like. Flat can work just as well as not flat as long as it's consistent.
A stop sign is the definition of flat: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/ST... but it has a border which separates it from the rest of the world. If it were a button when you've clicked it once you will know where it is and how big it is.
Random text with no differentiation from the rest of the page is a big reason why I've lost the habit of clicking hyperlinks. If it doesn't look like it will do something I will assume it does nothing.
