“I am completely wasting my time,” you read, yet still for some reason decide to trudge forward.
The author of this piece, who wishes to remain anonymous, noted that he thought you would give up by the third paragraph or so. He is surprised that you are really following his every word, paying attention to the rambling nonsense and helplessly reading whatever quote he decides to throw at you.
“I am a spineless human being, confirmed by my willingness to have these words broadcast within my brain,” you thought to yourself, noting the self-deprecation within the language only in time to watch yourself sound like a damn fool.
“Oh well,” you thought because the author had you read those words.
While at this point there is no timetable for when you will finish with this article and move on with your life, some sources suggest that since you are still with the author at this point you may very well stick it out to the end.
Others have raised the intriguing suggestion that you are not, in fact, still reading, and that these words are in fact being read by absolutely no one. Supporting this claim are average site visitor statistics. Such an idea suggests that these words do not exist so long as there is no one to perceive them and give them meaning.
But perhaps out of desperation, the author prefers to think you are still here, clinging to his every word until the very end. Because if no one is reading this, he will likely be out of a job soon.
Note: This article is satirical but does reflect factual reporting.
