It ruined it at the end by asking me to share it on Twitter.


If I made that site, I would make all the share buttons just show "Haven't you learned anything?" and do nothing else.


Don't you know how much of your life is wasted looking at twitter and google+ etc?

.. wait 30 seconds...

Here's my twitter and Google+ Follow and Share!!


...after a long, long series of annoying platitudes. I stopped at the "welcome to the quiet place" and thought for a while (half an hour). Then when I came back, it wanted to moralize at me! I gave up, didn't see the end.


It really did. I'm still glad I saw it, but definitely made me feel mixed. Made me not want to share it, when I could have easily e-mailed it.


Yes :(

And the page felt too busy too. Like if you were listening to a nice calming classical music that finished with three seconds of loud death metal.


This! Totally ruined the whole thing for me. Made it feel utterly hypocritical and ruined the high-brow mood. Actually came out feeling sad about that...


Also by having music and asking for a donation of $1. A donation for what, exactly?


yeah, the music jolted me out of a quiet place. I muted my speakers.

Nevertheless, it's an important message.
