Reading too much slows down scrolling and ad views, you must keep scrolling. Also, trying to have meaningful conversations with others might lead to independent ideas or actions that are out of the control of the platform, all ideas or actions must benefit only the platform and its adverisers.

My sarcastic comment was flagged but the point I was (poorly) trying to make is that this is an awesome extension but it goes against platforms' goals. If it gets popular the platforms will fight against it.
