I read your first paragraph then skipped the rest of whatever you're going on about. It's about saving your time in a world where there's near infinite amount of content to be able to read, it's a skill to know what's worth reading.

Right. I find myself doing this, yet I'm still able to read and consume whole chapters at a time in university textbooks

I agree to some extent, but honestly the time spent on reading lemmy/reddit/Twitter/etc could almost certainly be spent on more important literature. I'm not going to pretend that a few minutes in a sea of wasted hours really makes a difference.
