I’m always hitting paywalls on today’s internet, and I often think about the design language that many of them use, which is to display the first couple lines and then fade it out as it goes along, presumably in a bid to provide a taste of what you’re missing out on, though to me, this device always evoked the image of the author getting farther and farther away from you, physically, as they tried to tell you about this thing that was important to them, as though they were on a boat pulling away from the dock as you stood on shore, their words at first intelligible, whether they are meant to be news, or an in-depth report, or a thoughtful essay, or something else, but meanings loosening as they begin to blend into the sounds around them, embraced, swallowed by the great din of the world, until nothing discernible of that singular voice remained.
