Huh, I don't think I really get what they are trying to put down? I dont see how their title and text connect. Some of their fears felt pretty relatable. I did find their summary of our relationship pretty funny - can't copy and past on their site but the bit about coming for correctly nested html tags for a fee of zero dollars.
Side note - that font felt uncomfortable to read, what kind of font is it? I'm super ignorant on this.
- benj111 4y agoI read it as printed books mean something whereas online is just throwaway. A few critiques of the online way of doing things (including of hyperlinks as authority, which I assume is what the title is about). My irony detector may be too sensitive, but you complaining about the font seems like something that could have fit right in to this essay.
- burnished 4y agoAh, thank you for sharing those insights. As for the font - I was worried it would come off as a complaint but didnt really know how else to express that feeling or ask for more information.
- benj111 4y agoI didn't read it as a complaint, you said you didn't get the point, and your comment about the font highlighted that, for me at least. As the author states >You came here for correctly nested HTML tags and I sent you them for the fee of zero dollars. I owe you no quality, no restraint. You didn't pay for this, the author owes you nothing, a printed book you paid for would mean they do owe you something. I detected irony because people don't tend to criticise font choices in books as much as they do in blogs. Despite the fact said blogs are free and the author owes you nothing. But this is art, so it's all open to interpretation, and this is mine.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoMy counterargument to this is that there's more throwaway anything in any medium than there is worthwhile stuff.
