Dear web publishers,
I know you think it’s a great idea to raise your page counts by putting only one paragraph per page to get readers to click on the next, but I’m not doing it. In fact, I’m making it a point to unsubscribe from every single newsletter that does it.
It’s a very inconsiderate thing to do, considering the numbers of people out there with repetitive motion injuries. Thanks for trying to add to the damage!
Sincerely,
Your former reader
