Anyone else despises these article dumps?!
Yet you still clicked and scrolled down to leave that comment. ♂️
Actually, judging by the number of people that read these and click on the posts linked here, many people use these summaries.
I clicked because the title was cut off at “Stolen Business Class Seat on Turkish Airlines”, didn’t expect to scroll down to the 6th entry to get to the relevant article.
The title is in order of the most read and I list the titles inside the post in chronological order. Sorry you had to scroll all the way down to the 6th one…
It does give me an idea that I will try to do something in the future to distinguish the title posts differently in the body of the post itself.
Thank you <3
