Perhaps we as an internet generation just read too much? There are so many articles/topics repeating themselfs. It starts to happen @hacker news for me as well and that makes it boring. I don't need to read the 20.000th article about a specific topic in full. I only might wanna see if the author got something new, which is often just not the case. I didn't read that much text when we only used newspapers. I read the paper after lunch for half an hour or so. Thats it. No newspaper on sunday.
