Javadocs are just clutter

I can't 100% disagree with that, but after all those comments are made for automatic documentation generation. Sometimes I have found myself writing some redundant comments that, in the end, are only there so that the generated docs are complete. These are the ones I will be revisiting, not the comments themselves.
What do you think?

With the rest of points, I completely agree 😄

Yup. Javadocs are there to create the details of your API inputs and outputs. They are not redundant, but actually essential and must be up to date.
