A Reuters blog explains Beckman’s method: He grabs tweets linking to a publication’s story, and then he retweets them with a click-saving comment.

路透社有一篇博文讲述了贝克曼的具体做法：他先抓取含有文章链接的推文，然后转发加上“干货”评价，以免大家浪费鼠标。

For example, recently CNET tweeted “So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but...”, with a link to its coverage of Apple’s product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment appended: “... it hasn’t been jailbroken yet.” When Business Insider’s Twitter tried to entice readers with, “A former Navy SEAL explains how to escape a dangerous situation,” Beckman read the story and distilled its essence: “Run away. Fast.”

比如，近期科技资讯网CNET的一篇推文写到“iOS8貌似能够越狱，不过……”，而它提供的链接则会跳转到苹果产品的广告页。贝克曼于是转发了这条推文，并加上了评论“……现在还不能越狱。”看到商业内幕网为了吸引读者在推特发布了题为“一个前海豹突击队员告诉你如何脱离险境”的链接，贝克曼读了文章后则直接提炼出其实质：“赶快逃跑”。

Since founding the account in May 2014, Beckman’s Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. According to a Reuters blog, Beckman monitors more than 100 websites. In an interview, Beckman told Vice that @SavedYouAClick is “just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible.” Asked about his goal, he said, “I’d love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there’s an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.”

贝克曼的账号创建于2014年5月，现在粉丝数已经超过13.1万。路透社的一篇博文透露，有100多家网站都在贝克曼的“监控”之下。在接受全球青年媒体Vice采访时，贝克曼表示，SavedYouAClick只是自己净化网络的一种方式。当问到他的目标时，贝克曼说，“我更希望发布者能够以读者的感受为先。我认为发布者完全可以为读者提供包含链接在内的内容更新，这样读者才会想要点进去看，也会愿意阅读更多内容。”
