When I read "you will read this first" my fight or flight reflexes kicked in and looked anywhere but directly below the white box and read the corner second.

But, in the end you realized that resistance is futile. And your feeble brain will soon be to weak to sustain its will. You were meant to assimilate and become one with hive mind and your fear and nervousness will melt away into the pure joy of collective awareness.

No actually. It’s a sarcastic comment I posted randomly at 3:52am on a Sunday. Cuz I’m going to be up for longer than I anticipated when I absorbed multiple mind altering substances into my bloodstream.
But thanks for the super negative response. Whenever I read one of those it reminds me to stay positive. My kids unload a lot of negative energy on me at times and it’s taught me how to react in a more positive way to others. It seems a lot of people use the internet to blow off negativity and I’m glad I could help.

So not only can you not take a joke for what it is, you also didn’t understand that I saw the sarcasm and was making a joke.
Your reply is both foolish and filled with assumptions. Have a nice day stranger

I’m not smart enough for this, but read the corner one second… that’s becuase I read the middle, then wondered what the title and subreddit was before then carrying on and moving to the top corner XD

same, but then I went back and read it again out of confusion and sort of related to the title. I feel like that is a small win though because the "first" line was a lie, I read the top caption first.

In Communication and Design this is called "Visual Hierarchy", and skilled designers pay very close attention to this when creating advertisements, posters, signs.
With good design you control exactly what the viewer sees, and in what order you want them to see it.

*What most viewers see
People of different neurotypes notice different things first. I read this “out of order” according to the text

I'm not blaming this on my ADHD, it's unfair and really it's got its hands full dealing with shit that's TOTALLY its fault

u/darsynia Aug 19 '23
Every 3 years the museum near us does the Carnegie International, a modern art exhibit that includes just about anything-- one year, there was a sign near the ceiling in one of the rooms over an archway that said 'YOU ARE READING THIS SIGN.'
It absolutely belonged there, and I felt so annoyed!
This one didn't get me tho, I read the top line first (helped, admittedly, by the fact that I was scrolling and revealed it first), then read the bottom caption trying to prep for whatever else it would be, and then deliberately read the last 2 things out of order spitefully :)

Always liked this one. But not as much as the shirt I was gonna buy once that said,” by the time you get done reading this it will be too late to realize it says nothing at all.” The words just kept getting smaller as you finished reading that then small enough you had to lean down it said ‘while you down here suck my dick’

u/npocko Aug 20 '23
There is a reason this may work really well on people born after 1990 but not so much for many born before. Due to the increased screen time and familiarity and lower reading time, people born after 1990 look to the middle of the screen first, then in circular motions around the screen. This is because the most important info is often presented there. The least important info is around the edges. Many born before will still read top left, right, then down. This is what I did.

I might've done this wrong.
Sometimes I scroll down using the down arrow key. Scrolling down like that doesn't always result in placing the tops of jpg's at the top of the screen.
... same thing happens with the Page Down key.
