The Problem with Reading on Wikipedia
Great content, but not always convenient to read
Articles are incredibly long
Wikipedia articles can be thousands of words. Reading an entire article on a complex topic takes serious time and focus.
Dense, academic writing
Wikipedia's encyclopedic style is thorough but demanding. It's easy to lose focus or need to re-read sections.
Rabbit holes are tempting
One article leads to another. Before you know it, you've got 20 tabs open and hours have passed.
Not ideal for mobile
Long-form reading on a phone screen is uncomfortable. Scrolling through dense text gets tiring fast.
