You're complaining about a Writer writing?
- mgaunard 3y agoI'm complaining about clickbait.
- croes 3y agoIf the article fits the title and isn't just to draw clicks it's not clickbait. To be overly verbose is neither.
- KingMob 3y agoA light introduction that then segues into background material on a complicated legal topic is not clickbait.
- mgaunard 3y agoThe actual content I would expect is the following 3 points. 1. What the old clause of the license was 2. What kind of unintended side effect it had 3. What the new clause addressing this is Summing up those 3 points results in a clear paragraph of maybe 5 to 10 lines. Meanwhile I challenge anyone who hasn't read it to extract that content from the article in less than 15 minutes.
- jamincan 3y agoThe article delivers what it promises. While it may not be concise, that doesn't make it clickbait.
- remram 3y ago> The first three versions of the Creative Commons license contained a small, significant oversight This sentence is 1087 words in. That's a long "light introduction".
- KingMob 3y agoYou're lumping in the long background section with the introduction.
