Is this the same Poe's law referenced in a pull-quote, above the fold, in the linked article?
- nommm-nommm 10y agoActually, now that I look at it more,yes. I usually ignore quoted text like that in articles because they are almost always quotes from the article itself that make no sense out of context. So I didn't realize Poe's law was referenced.
- RainaRelanah 10y agoThis is caused by media sites/blogs abusing block quote typesetting for pull quotes. If the quote is in the text of your article elsewhere, it should be placed off to the side as a pull quote, outside of the natural reading order. This article's author properly used block quote positioning, but our minds have been trained to skip it as we assume it is a pull quote.
