Mere description does not tell you what to enjoy or be happy about a story, only what the story happens to be about, which is information that is usually All Right There In The Blurb that you would consult before 1-clicking anyway (unless you're really committed to the idea of the uninfluenced blind-buy), and if you are reading that much prescriptiveness into it, I am sorry you feel inhibited by believing your enjoyment dictated, but at least it cuts down on your TBR pile................
However, if you would prefer to see things posted in a particular manner, you are perfectly free to do so yourself, or instead start following one of the freebie/bargain-posting blogs that has the sort of style which you would rather see.

ATD, I think you may be taking my post a lot more seriously than I was ?
I obviously tend to look for a broader description or details, and am prepared for surprises.....
And, believe it or not, I thought the tags were submitted by authors, not the result of your single-handed efforts.
But....
Para1) Agreed
Para 2) Agreed, but I don't believe my enjoyment is being dictated, just that the descriptive tags seem to be getting longer and more..... detailed? Which, for me, takes a bit of fun /horror out of the hunt! But perhaps it's always been thus, and I haven't perused long enough. One man's soya, etc...
And I don't have much of a TBR list anyway....I'm not organised enough.
3) I'm not a freebie/bargain hunter per se, just a browser of offerings, opinions and recommendations - including yours - on MR in general, and I manage to muddle by somehow as it is - why bother going elsewhere ?
After all, we're a very catholic brethren here, and
don't it .......
