    This. I mentioned this a couple of times, IMO a Tl;DR shouldn’t exceed 150 words, but the bot’s author disagreed with me. It’s not a TL;DR if it takes up half the screen.

      You can get a shorter TLDR by scimming it But having to load some bloated article with pop ups and autoplay videos is worse So I would rather have a long TLDR than it being too short

      People really want TLDR bot to effectively give clickbait titles with no context

        I was seeking information on deer salt licks the other day and clicked on one of the search results that took me to someone’s hunting site. The site had every auto play video and pop up you could imagine. It’s like they used every shitty trick in the book to have you click an ad or video. On mobile those tiny “x”s to close them are more difficult to hit, so it was quite tricky to navigate. Ultimately the page told me very little in a ton of words. Ug. Great example of that bloat.

      To be fair, a 1k word article can be TL;DR’d to < 150 words much easier than one with 30k words.
