THANK YOU! I didn’t notice! I remember when it was common to wander an article and pick out bits and pieces, but something changed with the “excerpt” rule and now I just grab near the beginning and hope it’s under a hundred characters. I’ll try to be more careful. Thanks for your careful explanation.

You're welcome.   I've been a complainer before but it is really on the source.   Some sites link to "X"(twitter) and then post the same text as the twitter and then use the same text as captions to pictures.   A cut'n'paste gives multiple repeats of text.   It's a jungle out there.
