If I wanted a summary of Citizen Kane, I would expect it to include the ending, yes.

The value in the content is experiencing it.

The moment some long form content comes out we are all TikTok kids who want a five second summary.

Never mind the fact that YouTube provides a compete transcription that you can copy/paste and dump into an LLM, making this entire thread, as I mentioned before, pointless.

The people asking for a summary are lazy people who want to be spoon fed trivia dopamine hits.

To some audiences, sure. Obviously the other guy gets value out of the content of the content, not just 'experiencing it'

That's EXACTLY what he's doing, right? Get the transcript, pipe to an LLM, determine if it's worth his time. You're on HN, we like to use scripts to automate those sorts of things.

Nobody is demanding a summary from the OP. The AUDIENCE MEMBER went out of his way to determine if the content is worth his time. Its no different than checking reviews before you watch a movie

Sometimes people just want to learn a thing.

That is okay.

Better than okay, learning is a good thing. And it's extremely impossible to watch every quality video.

Tangent but it is funny to me that we focus on tiktok but the news is as bad or worse in terms of super fast tidbits interspersed with ads, tragedy, and local weather
