Because people do want to like read long things from people that they think are interesting and not just algorithmic serving of short form video. That's a different model. It's a for profit model, but it's a different model and I think a better one and one that's less extractive and alienating for our attention. You know, vinyl records were completely supplanted by cassette tapes and then CDs.

And then starting about 10 years ago, they started growing and they've been growing every year and they've been growing at huge paces. And there's now a thriving vinyl industry.

The commitment mechanism is the triumph of the volitional will over the involuntary attention compulsion, right? It's like Odysseus lashing himself to the mast, right? We make a commitment. I'm going to read this email from this sub stacker I subscribe to. I'm going to listen to this album, which I've put on vinyl.
