As is your right.
Most of us power through small inconveniences as a normal part of life, calculating that it is not worth missing out on potentially valuable information/experiences/people/work/etc simply on the principle of not being mildly inconvenienced.
And this is a VERY mild inconvenience.
- josephg 3y agoEh. There is so much good content around, why waste my time reading and encouraging user hostile content? Pushing myself through inconveniences like this carries a tang of self abandonment. Visually filtering this stuff out is really exhausting for me. I have the mental energy to read one article with buzzy BS, or maybe 3 other articles which might be just as good or better and respect my attention. I must admit - I didn’t think of reader mode. But by the time I started holding my thumb over the bottom of the screen, overwhelm had already started to set in a little. I was frustrated and the seeds of hatred had sprouted in my heart for the author. “Mildly inconvenienced” my arse. It’s Sunday and I choose to enjoy my life. Somehow I think I’ll survive not reading this one particular article. At least not today, Satan.
