"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.,

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.
