What do you think of posts that are only a link? - eviltoast

Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?

If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?

    I like when the body has a summary of the contents behind the link, or even a personal opinion of OP on the topic or how they found the link etc.

    It’s still each users choice if they want to read it or go straight to the link.

    IMO that’s an advantage over the alien site.
