I noticed that after my comment. Still a low quality post from a bot seemingly farming for clicks through to articles, where a description summary from a human or better parsing from the bot could have improved the quality of the post.

Agreed, the amount of clicks for the article would increase exponentially if they actually added context for those of us who never click these links.
