I read more than ever overall - both articles and books. I also dislike fluff-stuffed books and I adjust by skimming over such parts. Although I am never sure if I miss important points, I think it is better than wasting time on non-content. The same is true for online articles. To me, it feels like we have reached a point where information gathering and learning is getting slower and harder due to filler bloat and other distractions. I recognize this most when I go back to a new book or online text after having read in an old book.
