What’s with the constant skip jumping? Is this part of a coherent message that she originally shared. I’m behind her but this format was grating.
How to tell she's right: people griping about the presentation instead of the substance.
I don’t disagree with the content. I still couldn’t sit through the whole thing and I tried three times. Delivery is important, not sure what your point is.
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.
