I'm torn on point 2... on the one hand, I'm insulted to be "rewarded" for my tenacity in managing to "read" what is basically a very short article with a lot of pictures. On the other hand, I'm working daily with people who refuse to read messages on Teams chat if they are longer than five words and respond either with an answer that proves they didn't make it past the first sentence or with the even worse "quick call?" So perhaps anything that rewards primary-school-level literacy among adults is a positive step after all.
Yeah I didn’t think I needed to be called names (“bookworm”) for reading a whole article on a topic I’m fascinated by. I get enough of that in real life already.
