And I'm sure they all didn't actually read the article before coming to the comments section, just like you. Adding their uninformed upvote to your uninformed comment.
To be clear, "If the author had pitched this..." is the uninformed part. He makes his intentions clear in the first paragraph.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoWhat about people who can't read the article because of a paywall. They like to comment, too. Or the tangents that routinely happen having nothing to do with the article. I believe the heading is part of the article. It is the first thing the reader will encounter and the author is trying to get us to read more. It requires that the author put some thought into it. Unless I am missing something, the statement about "raw text" reflects how the author actually believes readers might feel. You're essentially asking me to ignore the author's statement about being "tired of displaying raw text" and try to interpret some ambiguous sentence at the end of paragraph 1. I am not tired of displaying raw text. He assumed wrong. There's no retraction or contradiction of the statement about "raw text" in the article. As far as I can tell, it was not "clickbait". The author actually believes reader are "tired of displaying raw text".
- bobsmooth 6y agoI'm just asking you to read the article before commenting. I guess that's too much to ask.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoWhat you are not understanding is that it would have made no difference in this case. That statement about being tired of displaying raw text was intentionallly chosen by the author and it is not something I am going to ignore after I read the article. I am already familiar with the software. The article did not tell me anything I did not already know.
