I'm panic downloading other people's tiktoks. All my saved videos are for reference and my references are about to disappear. I learned so many things from tiktok.

I may have liked the secret history a lot more if it had an actual voice actor

Most of my friends watch reels and I just can't. I go to the comments for the commentary I like on tiktok and it's like BOOM 💥 racism 💥 sexism 💥 bullying 💥 intrusive questions 💥 tired jokes 💥

Bluesky isn't an option under "How did you hear about this!"

Not all edge cases need to be explored in every conversation. The thesis here is "Listening to an audiobook is reading the book." Outside of books and audiobooks, the conversation divolves into pointless murkiness

Hi! In this context we're talking about books. Hope that helps

Yeah but audiobooks help your pronunciation! Lol, Either way, I think each have pros and cons but both are reading

This is why the argument is pointless. It boils down to semantics. Which you aren't even strong with as you falsely identified an analogy.

Imagine it's a yes or no question. "Have you read this book?" Should the audiobook reader say no?
I wasn't using an analogy, it was an example of another verb that is used similarly. I know a blind woman who "watches" TV. I know a wheelchair user who "hikes."

It's not misleading to say you read an audiobook, just like it's not misleading to say you flew somewhere when you're not a pilot. It's the accepted verbiage about the act. Also, there is room for discussion about the different experiences, but in the broader context the same story is consumed

That's a tough question, my favorite horror show is between Midnight Club and Fall of the House of Usher! And I just watched The Cabin in the Woods for the first time EVER this week and I never had the plot spoiled for me. It was amazing I loved it
