      If you don’t want to keep reading, then don’t. I’m not your mom.

      There’s so much media that I’m sure can hook people and if something fails, then just move on to something else. We have the world’s knowledge accessible to us and more information than any one person can ever hope to consume. It’s OK to be picky about what you spend your time doing when time is your most valuable resource.

      If you want to have commitments, make them to communities and those important to you, not to media.
