- Would you rather write poetry that only makes sense to you — or write a novel that everyone misunderstands? Authors Medium
- Would you rather read a 1,000-page novel in one sitting — or read one page a day for three years to finish it? Reading Medium
- Would you rather read only physical books forever — or read only e-books forever? Reading Medium

How to play
- The host reads a dilemma out loud: "Would you rather A… or B?"
- Tap A or B on your phone. Nobody sees your pick until the reveal — you can change it until then.
- The reveal shows the split (e.g. "68% would rather A") and who picked each side. Time to defend yourself.
- Majority scoring: land on the bigger side for +100 (a perfect tie gives everyone +50). Minority scoring flips it — the brave few score.
- Watch for Contrarian rounds: the scoring flips for that one dilemma.
