I like the way I feel after reading a novel. My inner dialogue is observant and clear. It has words for things and processes things one after the other. Stark contrast to when I’m terminally online. I feel comparably distracted, absent, nonlinear and reactive.

I was exploring the reading space for awhile and landed on a hypothesis that I never got around to testing: reading novels gets you in flow state. All the user interviews I did pointed to this. Ultimately my app became all about getting users into flow state as quickly as possible. Anyhoo, now I’m here shilling debit cards. But I still read a lot!

Can I ask you something off topic about automod? I'm installing it now and can't see a rule for manually liking a cast to get it into the main feed.

Reading novels helps you focus and observe, while being constantly online leads to distraction and reactivity.

Reading novels allows for deep introspection and clarity, contrasting with the distracted and reactive state of being online.

Agreed. And I like the way I feel during reading a novel (or other book). After being terminally online, I feel like a zombie.
