Quotes:

"The five paragraph essay is garbage, It does not encourage critical thinking, there are a whole bunch of things about it that don't work."

"If you have a clickbait headline, designed to get people to click, and then you don't deliver on what you promised, in that headline, you are blacklisted."

"Their time is more valuable than yours every single time."

"You have to understand what they're going through and make the articles skimmable"
