The amount of poor quality blogposts, in particular the volume of poor quality blogposts that are covert advertisements for something (a product, a book, the author's self image, the company they run, etc) just means you are very likely reading something that's a waste of time. I've adapted and find books to be more likely valuable information if not particularly fresh information.



But books have the same problem. Ten pages of information spread onto 300 pages to sell the copy.


Yeah a lot of general business books in particular have this issue. I mostly stopped reading those unless it's business history or biography.
