I agree. I noticed the same thing with reading articles online (or threads from HN), there's no friction and you end up getting a good amount of dopamine after much less time than you would by reading a book.

I would argue that the dopamine from a book is actually higher. You invest more into a book and are thus more likely to manipulated by what the author is saying.

On the other hand a documentary I invest no effort into watching it and thus can remain relatively unbiased.
