If you only pay attention for 10% of the content, GoT is much lossier than baseball. Sparse vs dense would be more sensible terminology.

- Apocryphon 7y agoNo, it depends on what content you're looking for. There are certain series where if I only care about the plot, I can find a synopsis on a wiki somewhere, or just listen to the show in the background. But if I want to get the full visual experience in the acting, cinematography, and production, I need to watch in order to be emotionally engaged.
- Waterluvian 7y agoRegardless of terminology, I'm trying to communicate the idea that some media demands your full attention while others don't. Maybe a better example is a podcast vs. music. You don't really need to absorb, consciously, every note and lyric of a song. But a podcast demands your attention.
