> So, estimated reading time calculators are literally just a method for obscuring the word count. That’s also all it needs to be, I have never had an issue with an estimate saying 12 min when in fact it was 15min, or 5min. I really only care about it saying 2min, 10min, 30min or 60+. It’s just a ballpark. Having me tell the algorithm how hydrated I am to improve the estimate is laughably ridicules and adds no value at all.
