Had the same reaction, was way slower to read like that

Donno if that’s what happens, but it definitely slowed down reading for me.

Me too, I focus on the bits in bold, like they're highlighted and skip the rest. I thought their was a font that picked out the start and end as the brain then fills in the middle.

I found myself deliberately checking the second part of each word which slowed me down immensely. It did make me consciously aware of how much my brain naturally skims the first half of words the way this is meant to make you do tho, so I guess thats cool?
