alt Hacker NewsYou mean you don't summarize those terrible articles you happen to come across and you're a little intrigued, hoping that there's some substance, and then you read, and it just repeats the same thing over and over again with different wording? Anyway, I sometimes still give them the benefit of the doubt, and end up doing a summary. Often they get summarized into 1 or 2 sentences.

No, not really. I don't even know how to really respond to this but maybe
1. I don't read "terrible articles". I can skim an article and figure if something I'm interested in.
2. I actually do read terrible articles and I have terrible taste
3. Any "summarization" I do that isn't from my direct reading is evaluated by the discussion around it. Though nowadays that's more and more spotty.
I can spot those articles from a mile away and never click the link.
Maybe I should start doing that but I usually just... don't read them.
