It’s rare that people bother to learn new things on their own whereas it’s common for them to punish people that make it trivially more difficult for them to counterfactually do so, even though they wouldn’t even have been primed to want to do so if that person hadn’t brought up the subject. That’s the thing I’m complaining about. (bla bla marginal cost something bla opportunity costs b;’dja. disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer.)
This might make you feel better: There is a part of every reader that cares about the subjective experience of reading. If you propitiate that part by writing things that are a pleasure to read, they’ll be more likely to read what you say.

Very helpful advice in only two sentences. Appeals to aesthetics are my favorite. Thank you.
