        I won’t click on a site if it has clickbaity headlines because I already know that it’s light fluffy stories with no meat. I happen to already subscribe to pluralsite on my RSS feed, so I knew what the story was all about. Aren’t there bots here that will visit links and provide a TL;DR summary so that I know if it’s worth the click?
