@readtedium Love your stuff, but in most of the articles (e.g. http://tedium.co/2015/06/30/the-game-genie-generation/ …) I’m confused what’s content, and what’s meta stuff.

The styling seems to make things more complicated, and sends signals to me to skip certain portions that are not meant to be skipped.

Hey Marcin. To emphasize—it's all content, but each piece is meant to stand on its own. It's a style I kept from my site

The idea behind the concept is this—for those who want to read every detail, they can. Those who prefer to scan can pick and choose.

In a lot of ways a Tedium piece is designed to be like a series of vignettes about a topic that together make an essay.

If a number or a quote doesn't stand out to you, that's fine! But I guess my idea is to hit both the skimmers & in-depth readers.

It's also why my subject lines riff off of Father John Misty songs even though nobody might get it. One person might, and they'll smile.

There's always room for tweaks, and the style hasn't had a ton since launch, but I just wanted to explain why it is as it is.

Thanks for feedback either way; I'll keep it in mind as I tighten the screws.

Thanks for the explanation! I can't seem to be able to get used to it, but maybe it will be easier now that I understand the idea.
