"Too bloated; Didn't read" should be a thing when someone shares a paywalled article with many ads (lemmy.world)

TB;DR: give a summary or archived versions without paywall of articles you share.,

Not only ads, but the content as well.

Many articles are like 5 lines of information and the rest is repetition and fluff. Especially annoying are those "world building"parts.

It was a wonderful summer day in New York. I was sitting in that neat little corner cafe, where they serve pecan pie with a Japanese twist. I scrolled through the news ticker and saw that Prigozhin was dead.

TC; DR Too Clickbait; Didn't Read

That's not clickbait. It's almost the opposite.
