Truth.
I've been in software development for 25 year at this point, and this is my #1 takeaway. No matter what it is, people won't read it.
"Trevor" is not a valid integer. This will erase your database. This will share your porn habits with our 1832 trusted data partners. Click click click, get out of my way!
The consequence of that is if you do read it you effectively have superpowers over the non-readers.
Writing is a passive system for conveying information. It requires active effort by the target. If the target does not want to engage with the information, there is nothing forcing them to unless you add additional systems external to the information.
This is why I follow every single text or email with a, "Hey, did you just see my message?" phone call.
Signs at stores are ads. Email is spam and ads. Menu is ads. Post online is ads. Street signs are ads.
Instruction, caption with answer to question and group handouts aren't ads, but I had ads fatigue from the rest of the shit you've been trying to cram down my neck, so go fuck yourselves and your written words.
