        But reading takes longer so at least you'll stick with a label for a little while.

          honestly with the lengths this youtube tripe is getting up to and streamers and such im certain consuming that is as much or more of a timesink. less intellectually difficult tho.

          and to jump onto my own strongly held opinion, i think 99% of video content is less efficient than simply reading. i'm not a fast reader, its a function of medium---videos gotta juggle audio, visuals and entertainment, a book very often doesn't even need to pretend to entertain. the only thing that might be faster than reading is audiobooks but i have very little experience with those

        Luckily I haven't seen much of that sentiment on this site. Such a dumb excuse, though. Like you can listen to audio books or even podcasts if reading is that hard for you.
