Yup. The other day I was on the toilet and saw a really interesting article. It said “45 minute read” so I saved it instead of starting.
Comment on Who benefits from the "14 Min Read" estimates popping everywhere?

If you only have 10 minutes left on a break you can save the half hour read till later.

At the risk of sounding uneducated, I wasn’t to say I don’t think I’ve ever read a 45 minute article.
I mean most days I would spend at least that much time reading technical advice or commentary, but not an “article”.

Personally, I just read for 10 minutes then and finish the rest later. I do the same with books.

Yea, this is the answer. “Can I read this in the time I have available” is all it is. I never once considered actually comparing the time it took me to read it with the estimate, nor do I think most people have any care to do so.
