I was also wondering what this was about. Should I care and why?

It's not only that I don't want to, but literally can't use extra 2 minutes for _every_ link I open while browsing news sites. And that attention span window is only getting shorter.

It's definitely not the first or last time for github repo not using the best real estate they have in "selling" their product.

The expectation to open every link may be the real issue. If the title and Readme don't speak to you, just let it be. You will always miss out on most things on the Internet.


“I can’t afford to spend 2 extra minutes for every link I open on news sites” does not mean “I expect to open every link that exists on the news sites I visit”.
