In the era of instant gratification, there is no time to breath. Maybe you've caught yourself skipping a post without thinking. Some posts are just too wordy. Our brains filter it out nearly subconsciously. The result of this competitive hyper targeted content delivery is a severely shortened attention span. Thinking is becoming more and more painful.

Also, Ms. Rachel is very amateur at video editing.

Really insightful comment though. I dislike that entire medium for reasons I've never been able to fully articulate, and I think you touched on a big piece of it.

But it's early and I was being intellectually lazy.
