    Reading with intention.

    All that other shit people say or do these things with:

    • only read the headline
    • comment after only reading the headline
    • say “tldr”
    • skim emails
    • disengage from long and detailed group chat chats, skipping to the end and saying “I didn’t read all of that, but…”
    • using AI to summarize emails and long articles

    Etc.

        They are all examples of seeking short snippets over long form reading. We are being habituated to do that. And there are people that proudly say and do these things and promote the culture of doing these things. People are doing it in this thread.
