For example, in #synapse-dev:matrix.org, the NEB bot is quite talkative, and in every message about an issue or a PR usually mentions the metadata I need about the issue or PR along with its link, which means that URL preview uses a lot of space on the screen to display information the user either already has or doesn't need.
On the other hand, other users might post a link to a tool, an issue, a PR, etc., without mentioning all of that data, so URL previews are helpful in this case.
A per-room setting allowing users to disable URL previews for messages posted by specific users could solve this kind of issues.
