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.

    I’ve accidently shared an ad-laden page before… had no idea thanks to Ublock Origin until someone mentioned it in the comments.

    I kinda wish each link post came with a post bot option. Back in the other place that starts with “r” there’d be hundreds of first comment strings where it was obvious that the article was not read. Titles are likely to be sensationalized and triggering to get you to read the article and the ads. If the content is posted up front the commentary just seems more rich and everyone is spared the ad-saturation.

      Not OP but for myself I have to say I keep forgetting the archiving sites. I should know better by now but there it is. So thank you for this. Bookmarking it now.
