The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue.
The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can’t afford to pay for actual content.
We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there’s a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc… so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.
I understand where you’re coming from as a writer. A lot of Lemmy links, article links, article titles, are teasers they don’t actually tell you what the actual subject matter is about.
I find the summarization TLDR posts invaluable, so I can figure out if I actually want to read the article. Rather than falling for clickbait
