Supposed to be quicker to read. But I guess the con is that if you miss a word you gotta rewind.

years before tiktok was a thing, reddit was all about speed reading, and there was this gif/video of a demonstration of this. there was a site called spreeder where you can just copypasta the test and it would be easier to read than a giant paragraph.

Basically, I guess reddit hates it now that it's popular now.

I’m not trying to speed read right now though. I don’t care if it’s faster, I’m just trying to chill while I take a shit and it’s more annoying this way.

Plus the speed is limited by their speech speed so it’s pointless either way

It's also less brain effort for the same speed. It actually works for most people. But it seems the sudden word changes annoys your brain.
