Before anyone points out that everyone died at 25 or something like that, the low life expectancy had a lot to do with child and infant mortality. If you made it to adulthood, you had a decent chance of making to to 50 or 60, which isn't a modern life span, but it's better than most people realize.
And, as you point out, you spent more of your time living rather than just working. If I had almost twice the time with my loved ones while I was young, that might be a decent tradeoff for losing ten or twenty years later one.
How was it good? You didn't, or at least it's purpose was that you would not, read the article, which would mean they get no ad money to encourage them to keep giving you free news, and the synopsis was about as long as the original.
Also, I'm sick of bots.
