@mmasnick You could have fooled me that they hadn't already implemented this requirement for recommendations.

2020s web experience

- Open site in browser
- Wait for Cloudflare to verify you aren't a bot
- Wait for background movie to load
- Dismiss cookie popup
- Decline to subscribe to their mailing list
- Decline to speak to a chatbot that promises it's a human
- Scroll infinitely looking for the information you want that's probably not there since it's all generated text intended for other robots to read anyway

@ismisedee The last few years I've started alternating fiction and non-fiction #books It feels like it gives the characters more time to stay with me. Less like I'm kicking them out at the end of the book! I've always got tons of both fiction and non-fiction I want to read anyway.
