Fundamentally there is a sense of not wanting to'miss' anything, I believe
that was the original force behind 24hr news channels, you watched because if
you didn't then something could have happened HOURS ago and you wouldn't even
know it yet.

I have a slightly different problem which is reading too much. It is
embarassing when you miss your stop on the train because the article you are
reading has distracted you. I also am something of a completionist when it
comes to books, so I find even when I don't "like" the book I'm compelled to
finish it.

I'm the same way. It's bad enough that I can't read on the train because It's
guaranteed I'll miss my stop. I can't read in the evening or I'll be up till
4am finishing the book. I limit my reading to times when I have an open
stretch of several hours to avoid it colliding with some other appointment or
something.

We do read. We just read in other formats. I never read has much as now,
because when you browse the internet, you essentially read.

You are just becomming picky about the format, because when there is a lot of
quantity, your brain decides what quality it wants to prioritize.

If something is long, complicated and unpleasant to read, it often can be
reformated so it's not. All text are not essais. And you don't need to read or
write an essay everyday.

So it makes sense to me. Readers to the contexte, we optimize, and writters
should too.
