I couldn't get through the blog post.

Here's why.

Nearly every thought is a separate paragraph.

Throw in center alignment and it's enough to drive me batty.

Decent blog post content, though.

Do you know why?

Let me let you in on a secret.

People LIKE reading text formatted like this.

No, they LOVE IT.

It's so easy to read.

So seductive. So .... enticing

Every line like honey. So much sugar. It makes you want more

And it's easy to write.

Easy to read.

Always feels like something is coming.

Just.

One.

More.

Line.

When switching to "Reader Mode" in your favourite browser, the text will be left aligned. :)

Drop into the chrome dev console, go into the source and change the alignment it takes a second. Don’t need to tolerate ridiculous formatting.

Please don’t left align this text because some stranger on HN told you so.

When that stranger is giving good advice, however .. There's a reason large bodies of text are left aligned and not center aligned.
