Anyone else start reading big blocks of text from the middle and just assume they’ll pick up on the first half from context?

If it’s too long I don’t even start reading, I back out immediately.

If I start reading and see it’s a bunch of back story with too much detail I might skip to the next block. If it isn’t to the point within the first five words of that block or the next I back out. I’ve got dopamine receptors to satisfy God dammit.

Every. God. Damn. Time… And then I realise that I understand nothing and I jump up about a third and read again and still understand nothing so I read from the beginning and then realise that the text is not interesting anymore so I skip reading any of it only to come back an hour later after frantically searching for other articles on the same topic only to realise that the answers were just right there all along if only i had read it properly the first time round.
