And he thinks TL;DRs are for kids with ADHD. Totally egotistic. I'm sure his whole point can be heavily TL;DR'd.

And after that he goes directly into a tedious story that does more to make me dislike him than actually build up the point he's trying to make. I agree with the basic premise of the article, but the endless passive aggressive anecdotes really don't help.

The whole attitude just ruined it for me. He went full "get ready to hear this 2h long story about my times and how awful current generations are. And no, you're not allowed to go to the bathroom while I talk" grandpa style.

Twitter brain rot is a problem that effects all ages, but then you grow up with it, it's worst.

I think sometimes people just want others to go straight to the point. I don't want to hear the personal stories of this guy, just rambling about his past and his skills.

Maybe he could say the premise and a conclusion. Then explain why he reached that conclusion. But no, he chose to torture you with personal anecdotes to get to a point he could have summarized in a few words.
