So in this installment I wanted to look at the binge nature of the tg
community. I know that when I first found entire websites devoted to
this material, it wasn't uncommon for me to lose three to four hours
chunks of time as I lost myself in reading every caption on the site.
Things have gotten a little better now that I've been around for a few
years, but there are still plenty of times I've pushed back going to bed
for an hour or two in order to read newly posted captions, and I know
I'm not alone in doing that.
It's always difficult to say no to a free service, especially one that
can cater so specifically to what you want. And it doesn't help that
both sides actively encourage the behavior. Artists want more page views
and comments, and readers want to see more material, allowing the two
to fuel each other on to some crazy levels of production and
interaction.
Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying, I love the way this
community interacts and creates. I've just learned I have to be careful
when I sit down to see what's been recently published, especially if I
don't have the rest of the day free.
