I prefer unabridged usually. Though the unabridged Princess Bride is a rare example of the book being better when it's pared down a bit.

Fucking 40 pages of PACKING.

I'm not here to say if abridging is a good or horrendous thing to do.

I'm here to say that "thing that existed is horrendous because it's done by a computer now" is a stupid take. People have been dumbing down, translating and editing existing difficult texts before computers existed.

See also : the zillion versions of any language's version of the bible. Here's a fun thing : they all have slightly different things changed/missing/added/tone shifted.
