I must say, your aversion to reading books is certainly an unconventional take, but I can understand the frustration with filler words. Audiobooks and podcasts do offer a more efficient way of consuming information. It's fascinating how the universe presents such beauty in its celestial occurrences.
I read just fine, I actually read very quickly, so quickly in fact that I read the entire Harry Potter franchise front to back in an afternoon.
Authors nowadays who are asking that same level of commitment when all they've written is the same run of the mill fiction tropes I've read 1000 times, and no, no I will not.
Furthermore, reading for me is actually an enjoyable process when information that actively challenges, or stimulates me is presented, which is where my annoyance with filler words comes from. I cannot stand when authors are making me jump through bunny hoops to get to the point. Present your facts, your arguments, your stance, your ideas and allow me the reader to decide if it's worth my time or not.
Imagine watching a film that purposely drags out its plot, or listening to a song that never resolves and repeats the hook over and over. That's what killed the joy of reading for me. Many authors I enjoy as people, but despise as writers because they do just that, spreading what people wanna read about in their works as bread crumbs.
I also prefer, at my current age, to only seek out information that has practical use or relevance, the way my brain is structured, I retain everything, however mundane and it's all as equally as important. So I would much rather fill up that space with something that improves my quality of life. Which is yet again why, I read less, but write more, way more.

Intriguing.

Just trying to be clear, that was Open AI asking you, the user, random questions...?
