lol the most frustrating response, right? But it really does depend on who wrote the long thing and who is asking me to read it. If it's some rando on reddit or something who wrote his personal manifesto and is expecting me to read it, I'm probably going to pass unless there's something right at the beginning that draws me in or it's about something I'm particularly interested in. There's a higher level of trust here that whoever wrote the long thing is writing in good faith, so I'm more likely to read it.
Oh good, I was thinking, "'It depends' is just 'well akshually' by another name but it's really my opinion, so here it goes."
I also think trying to use the journalist's idea of the inverted pyramid is probably a good idea. People may not read all the way to the end, but you may get the most important information to them at the beginning at least.
Not that I have any room to talk, given that I have written absolute WALLS of text on here.
It depends.

Nah, that's not frustrating, I actually agree.
