I just used the modern method for articles like that.
I read the headlines, skimmed the prose that has no purpose other than 'it was what the AI put out', then read the conclusion.
Similarly, I skip video content where the title is something like "How to get better fuel economy for your car" and the video starts "Let's investigate the entire history of wheels", and the whole video could just be a guy sat in a chair saying "keep your tyres at the correct pressure"

- xtiansimon 3mo ago> “I skip video content where the title…” I skip anything where a talking head says, “here’s the thing”, or “what they don’t want you to know”.
