Maybe, maybe .. you get some pleasure in forcing people to read every bit of what you write, just to get what the heck it is. But unfortunately it is the age of AI summaries and short attention spans. Not the times when you read half-foot thick novels end-to-end multiple times. TL;DR!

I write my digital garden and blog for myself. They are just happen to be public. The pleasurable part is putting it out there, not forcing people to read it.

If people prefer to have short attention spans and leave what I put out after 30 seconds, it's their own choice. My blog has minimal analytics (provided by the platform), and digital garden has no analytics whatsoever, so I don't care and get bothered what humans do with my site.

I personally don't use any AI tools whatsoever, and still prefer to read half-foot thick novels end-to-end. Hyperion Cantos (4 x 700 pages) was great. My next target is Foundation by Asimov (7 volumes incl. expansions).
