I need a quippy response to say it’s not that bad, I promise, google or click the link and scan it. Then let’s chat about what you think

Nah, if someone is too lazy to read one page of a book in equivalent text, they're the ones that need to accept that their attention span and brain Ned need more exercise.

Fuck dumbing down the world

And the upvote history of walls of text in a social network known for primarily short to mid length comments really backs up your argument. I’m not saying dumb down the world, I’m saying know your stage and the expectations of your audience.

I’m probably being over idealistic. I like summaries and I look for those myself! It’s frustrating when there’s a post but the OP doesn’t provide any point of view. But I also see a lot of comments on kbin/lemmy/fedi that either ignore the summary or don’t bother to check out the context. I’m really interested in what people think I guess.
