I agree a lot of use is shallow, and, that seems fine. I don’t really care what percentage of the site is shallow, but I care about how much of it is deep, in absolute terms. So I’d be aiming to just encourage a bit more deep reading on the margin, and optimize the use of it.
(It occurs to me now that the admins tracking overall, anonymized metrics for “how much private notes do people take?” might be an interesting mechanism for measuring “deep reading”)
That makes sense. And I agree with what I think you’re implying: that the question of how worthwhile it’d be to build this feature depends on how much deep usage there is in absolute terms. I don’t have a great intuition for how much there is or where the threshold would be, but I’m moving closer towards thinking that it’d be worthwhile.
