    I don’t click piped links myself, but some people find them useful.

    As for tldr bot, it’s useful insofar it gets an idea across for wether I want to read the article, but leaves out a lot of information, often vital to the story, and leaves in fluff.

    They aren’t perfect, but useful for some.

      Same. Personally, for whatever reason, piped links almost never work for me. I’m sure they work for others or the bot posts wouldn’t get upvotes. Revanced or Firefox with a blocker almost always work for me though.
