Lately people have been telling me that they don’t like the quality of the bot, so I’ve decided to disable it.

    I’m sorry to see it go.
    I was often piqued to read it - sometimes it was fair–>good+ , sometimes it wasn’t; occasionally it bombed. But it was free, it was a wip, it was inspired work, and it’s far better than mine (nonexistant)!

    I thank you.

      Thanks for the kind words!

      I rather liked it myself (why create it otherwise), but I’m not gonna spam the whole Lemmy if people don’t like it.

      The code is still open source, just archived, so anyone can pick it up if they want.

    People tend to complain more than compliment. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a pretty useful tool.

    Oh no, that was the best thing we had here :-/

    It certainly didn’t get everything right, but was better than sifting through garbage articles… Any chance you could reconsider? If people don’t like it, let them block it and done, why ruin it for everybody?

    Hey, I liked it! Except for that one nasty bug where it discarded about half of the article text. I’d like to see it back, but without the TLDR part. Just the full article please. It’s way more comfortable than opening a separate webpage and waiting for all ads and paywall prompts to load.

      Not likely, it costs money to run it and I was often getting messages about it sucking and whatnot. It doesn’t cost much, but paying for something and then listening how shitty it is kinda lost its appeal.

    Yeah, I was always glad to see it whenever an article piqued my interest. Thank you for your work, and hope you reconsider.

    As someone else suggested, tell people who don’t like it to block it.
