Yeah, I'm not sure. People are calling it highlighting, but it doesn't fit any reasonable pattern to have been manually highlighted. Is there some sort of bad automated highlighting? Or just someone still learning what highlighting is even used for. Or is it just some sort of style thing?
It's highlighting, what's wrong with that? I thought it was an improvement from my earlier posts where I was blocking out filler to narrow down the article.
I highlight the parts I want to read if I were to revisit the article, to narrow it down and save time. Could be useful for users too who just want to get the story and not read a lot of filler.
is it still highlighting when everything is highlit?
Yeah, you don’t need to put this much effort in. Bold/highlight one key thing for emphasis at most. Maybe two.
It doesn't take much time or effort to do. If I highlight one or two things, then when I read it again, I'l have to gasp read through a good portion of the article again.
Sometimes there is more then just two things to highlight.
You’re still overthinking it, and my reply. It’s ok tho. Game recognize game.
