This is absolutely terrifying thinking. You seem to believe that readers are passive consumers of a stream, and should not have agency in their consumption of said streams.
- ibero 7y agoYou got me. Readers "should not have agency in their consumption of said streams." Clearly that was the point of my question posing the alternative. You nailed it.
