Issue #2
Meaningless link preview description

- Better to use the first paragraph as description.

- OK. I used a web crawler to collect "og:description" from ALL THE PAGES WITH INTERVIEWS on this site starting from 2016. Here are the results:

As you can see, in the absolute majority of cases these descriptions are pretty meaningful. As a rule, the site editors really put thought in inventing these descriptions. The case my opponent found is arguably the only case where the description is meaningless.
And I believe the descriptions from the first paragraph are objectively worse than the descriptions from "og:description". They can contain introductory text that is not very descriptive of the subject, in contrast to the text that was _specially meant_ for description. For example:
