    I like the TLDR bot but I wouldn’t rely on it for anything important. I’ll read the summary and if it’s just some fluff piece, I’m not too worried about it if it skipped a detail. But for serious journalism, I read the article. There’s a huge difference between an article about a video game or celebrity and an article about a war or natural disaster.

    Piped bot doesn’t seem to work for me anyway but I don’t usually click video links. I prefer text to video for actual info so I mostly just click the videos on a comment when it’s an obvious joke and they’re referencing something funny.
