How we read online.
- edw519 18y agoIt this author is right, most people would only read about half of this article. (I'm not sure he's right - I only read half of the article.)
- pmjordan 18y agoI don't think the article was very well written. The constant lame attempts at humour made me skip a couple paragraphs because they were basically "haha, lost another reader there LOL". There's a higher chance of bad writing on the internet than in a reasonably high-brow print paper or magazine. (or book) I guess when I encounter bad writing or annoying style, I'm more likely to skip it because I feel I'm wasting my time. There's better-written stuff out there with a higher information density.
