I'm in a weird position. Can anyone provide a summary of this article?
I have all the time in the world to read things that are interesting (to me) and really absorb the content. But I've increasingly been noticing a "recipe article" trend with blog posts. People throw 100 words in when 10 will do. This article is an example.
I've even gotten to the point with certain important blog posts where I copy paste the content to chatgpt with a simple prompt to summarize the main points.
I'm not happy that I have to do this, but people have seemingly forgotten the art of getting to the f'ing point.
Your audience has an attention slightly shorter than this comment. Unless you catch their attention, none of your nuance is going to matter.
Generally I've found just skimming the first line of each paragraph works well, but even that is getting harder to find.
