every time one of my “notes” on “substack notes” starts getting attention there are always a bunch of “losers” and “whiners” in the replies complaining that these things are all enormous block paragraphs written entirely in lowercase, and that this is “disrespecting the reader” because it’s “difficult to read.” this platform is home to the most “sauceless pedants” on the internet, and they’re “dead wrong.” in fact, writing enormous block paragraphs entirely in lowercase is the highest form of “respect” i can render you. if you’re reading this, it’s because you’ve been scrolling through mostly mindless dogshit, probably for ages, obliterating away your one and only life in a series of repetitive thumb movements. it is not “respectful” to allow you to keep doing this unobstructed. the only ethical way to engage with any microblogging feed is by making everything you put on there “as” difficult and burdensome to read “as” possible. reading my posts should be like scrubbing your eyeballs with sandpaper. i will keep attacking you until you are free
