Is it really surprising in 2026? Today's online writing style is not primarily designed to communicate. It's designed to keep the reader 'engaged' for as long as possible. The reader's time is a resource to be extracted.
I'm absolutely not poking this author individually. It's the writing style of the net.
- derdi 2mo agoI was wondering what this was in reference to; it's not in reference to TFA here. It's a quote from https://bytecode.news/posts/2026/08/because-it-s-not-fun-enough https://bytecode.news/posts/2026/08/because-it-s-not-fun-eno..., so presumably you meant to post this over at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49242245 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49242245.
- nyeah 2mo agoOh, good point, thanks.
