I want to read this article, but I can't handle there being some sort of ridiculous rapidly-flashing GIF on the screen at almost all times. Reader Mode doesn't work properly and loses a lot of the text.
If I want to get through it, I'll probably have to adblock all the images or copy-paste the text out into a document or something.
- random-dude 7y agoIf you make the width of your browser small enough, the article will collapse and you can read without the gif in view. But, yeah... that GIF was so wildly distracting I gave up reading it.
- TheCycoONE 7y agoIt may be intentional. Not just the pictures, but the essay itself I found disorienting, jumping around and repeating. Perhaps I'm being generous, but I feel the style reinforces the thesis that the way we consume content in the last decade 'melts' our perception of time.
- passbyyou 7y agoYeah, I think it's by design as well. It's actually a pretty interesting effect. If it's giving the above commenter the exact feeling of frustration that the author intends of the 2010's without the reader understanding why, is the unconcious transmission of the article's message a success of the author?
