Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

Look, if you're going to operate a dangerous piece of equipment without the safety guard that is your choice. But if you're making an instructional video, at least mention proper safety procedure.

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
