When I paste a link into Outlook, it creates a link preview. For "Consistency in TMTOWTDI Perl", the link preview has an anonymous silhouette for the thumbnail (which also what shows under "Latest articles"... so maybe that's intentional). Worse,though, the preview text is only the Legal spiel:
Legal. Perl.com and the authors make no representations with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the contents of all work on this website and specifically disclaim all warranties, including without limitation warranties of fitness for a particular purpose.

Other links (eg, "What's new on CPAN - March 2019") have the blurb seen under "Latest Articles" prepended to the Legal statement.
Taken together, the anonymous silhouette and legal statement really make the link preview very unfriendly. Personally, I think I'd rather see either a camel or an onion as the thumbnail instead of a silhouette, but the key to me is that the synopsis isn't showing up in the link preview.
Since it's a relatively new article, one would hope it might be getting shared around, so it seems like it might be worth addressing it.
