Author here. In some sense, I agree. The internet has too much incredible stuff on it, more stuff than a hundred human lifetimes would allow for enjoying, much less remembering/understanding/learning.

I think I desire these tools more out of the frustration I experience in working with, sharing, and remixing the little content I did/do have enough time for.

My hope is if I spend less time getting highlights and information from one platform to another I could spend more time arranging them into something interesting.
