  One thing Ive noticed is font size has gotten smaller and Ive gotten older. It’s painful to read the financial times today, as well as other items I once enjoyed.

    I've also gotten the impression of trends toward less-clear (but more "fancier") fonts, and lower contrast. If they're trying to look artistic with text that nobody's gonna read, then it's a win.

      Lower contrast saves on ink?

        Maybe it does somewhere - but I've mostly noticed it on the web.

    I've noticed the font size on my wife's kindle get increasingly larger every year. Certainly one of the benefits of e-readers!

  This metric will perfectly form a golden cross with short-form view counts or YouTube view counts.
