Agree.
Of course I can't (bother to) prove this, but it's probably fair to assume that a good portion of such links haven't even been read by their posters.
That doesn't imply these links are all useless, though. I've found interesting stuff among them.
I seem to recall that it's been debated here before that simply posting a link without any comment/summary should be disabled?
Speed is of the essence.
If I find althat I need to go to r/Bitcoin in order to learn what's current, because nobody so motivated had read the article or listened to the podcast, etc, and thus couldn't post, then that harms the utility of SN, for me.
And all that would do is have people ask chatgpt for the summary /tl;dr:.

Fair points.

In fact, that may actually have been raised the last time this was discussed as well. Thanks.

I don't have a problem with someone asking chatGPT to summarize their link for the audience. I don't have the same compulsion to get Bitcoin news as quickly as humanly possible and I think most others could tolerate getting news ten minutes after people like you.
