hello I am here for DFW discussion. I just read Infinite Jest and I really appreciate the footnotes because it's like the author is just fucking with you. It's a really fun puzzle for people inclined to want to read voraciously like that. I think that translates to what you guys are saying about links. although, I'm not sure I'm understanding it.

In contrast to footnotes, hyperlinks, like this one that links to a video of kittens, are relatively distracting is all.
