Sounds pretty but makes no sense to me. Is that an excerpt?

No, it's adnano's.

I decided that these merry days leading to Christmas, when we're infused with positive sentiments and hope for humanity, are as good as any other to read… #Hitler's _Mein Kampf_.
Not really! In fact, I'm a bit embarrassed to leave my e-book reader lying around so that others can see what I'm reading… But my Theory of Reading actually supports and encourages reading _anything_ that has been very influential (for good or for ill) regardless of its literary merits, its veracity, its applicability today, or its moral qualities.
Not to put them all necessarily in the same bucket, but I have read _The Iliad_, _The Odyssey_, _The Communist Manifesto_ and _Atlas Shrugged_ — and I would read _The Bible_ and _The Quran_ too: all of them #books that are ( in a way or another) wrong, false, corrosive, harmful, evil, racist, sexist, pro-violence, or pro-war — or even all of those things at the same time!
Granted: #MeinKampf may well be the wrongest among the wrong books… And in a way, that contributes to making it “useful” as a reading.

@ztx shares this same sentiment. I don't share it. I often enjoy and use monotopical websites. I thank the internet gods everyday for https://xyproblem.info/

That was about 
#reading (#books).
Related, about the 
#news:
> _“I don’t know a single truly creative mind who is a news junkie – not a writer, not a composer, mathematician, physician, scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. On the other hand, I know a whole bunch of viciously uncreative minds who consume news like drugs.”_
“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t #read all the time — none, zero. You’d be amazed a...

I somehow always end up using cars in my analogies. TVs are a new one for me, and yeah, good idea.
You make a good point. I wanted to say "essential in the growth of the Fediverse".
If it wasn't obvious, this is satire.
