    Man, does anyone else hate the way axios writes the news. Bullet point lists are bullshit. It’s like they think their readers are all morons.

      They’re perhaps not wrong. I’ve been told before that I should summarize my explanations on Slack into bullet points to make them easier to digest. This is for stuff that’s like maybe 3 paragraphs and is frankly not that hard to understand.

      A lot of people are pretty stupid, but worse than that is that so many are just downright lazy and obstinate and refuse to put any effort whatsoever into actually engaging with content that requires thought.

      With writing, your audience will usually self-select over time.
