> the more deeply readers will engage with it
You're already hypocritical - readers don't want to 'engage' with writing. People don't want to 'engage' at all. This is not an ordinary way of talking about things outside a pretty niche circle of VCs and marketing managers.
Choose what to read and who to associate with as well as it will strongly influence your own language :)
- bin_bash 6y agoI don't think I agree. I find 'engage' to be a fairly average verb in this context. More importantly, if that's the most hypocritical word you can find I think he's probably taking his own advice in this article.
- travisjungroth 6y agoI think he’s talking about “engage” in the meaning of the word before it became a metric. Like to think about it, try it out in your own life, and discuss with others. Not view, like, share, comment, subscribe.
