That is... possibly the most annoying thing I've seen this week.

I felt like I couldn't look away to blink/rest my eyes/check why the dog was agitated/pat the cat. The barrage of words increased my tension instead of relaxing me. I felt like I was being advertised to. As well as dry/burning eyes, I was left with a nastily persistent afterimage from keeping my eyes constantly in the one place.

And I already read faster than their fastest setting, when I'm trying to read fast. But what happens in natural reading is that I'll read faster, then slower, then re-read a short passage, then pause briefly to consider what I've read, and so on. This tech makes all of that more difficult.

So, yeah, good luck with that.
