      I like it because it means I don’t have to go to the actual article most of the time to read what it says

        Especially because of the paywalls, cookies, ads (for subs/articles) and tracking

    Here it does a great job of reducing a text of 174 words to 172 words. 👍

    (I do not want to complain too much. Usually it works and it is short enough for me to quickly read it.)

      Best of all you do not need to click the link, load the website, enable JavaScript because there is nothing without it and then tap the cookie banner away disabling all of the cookies first.

        i see a future where we no longer access websites directly because websites got so bloated that using a bot to give us the content instead is just way easier

          A bot that would send us the content as email, which we’d read using Emacs. I can see that happening.

        Actually you usually need to have Javascript off, 90% of news websites paywalls are just Javascript so turning it off let’s you read the article.

          There are quite a many websites just showing a white page if JavaScript is off…

          It was easy enough. Just two clicks and comparing the opening sentences.

    We need a better tldr bot and also a tsdfln (too short doesn’t feel like a novel) bot.

    The bot uses smmry.com to make its summaries, it would be easy to make a fork that lowered the amount of sentences in the summary, but it might lose some important details.

    EDIT: oops, completely wrong bot, I was looking at another lemmy TL;DR bot on github

    EDIT2: should still be quite simple to fork the current one, but I couldn’t find where to reduce the number of sentences

    Honestly I just read the TL;DR bot in lieu of the article itself so I don’t have to think about paywall & such

    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

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