@humdrum I *scan* everything, and I read most. My aim is to discern patterns week to week, and digital media is in a weird space where people (writers especially) are trained and incentivized to both state their points immediately AND extemporize at great length, so I find scanning gets the job done most of the time. It's also why I encourage [SIC]'s audience to read the digest like a narrative - the hope is you're getting the major point from the included text.
100% agree on incentives and that’s how I read SIC too. Was more just curious what your habits look like in ingesting everything. Appreciate the response!

Related to your poll, I’m curious, do you read every single link you include in every issue, every day?
