    "I'm not reading all of that" is a bad kneejerk response, but if my eyes glaze over by paragraph 2 then I think something as fallen apart in the writing as well. Structure, formatting, and presentation do matter if I can't figure out what point someone is trying to make then I can't follow along. I'll happily read a 6000-word essay if enough thought has been given to its structure and to the points it's trying to make that it's digestible and interesting, but I very much doubt that I could read a rant of the same length, or even half.

    "Effortpost" needs to mean that effort went into it, it can't just a synonym for long.

      yea most people literally don't even THINK about formatting and brevity, holy shit. speshully reddit

      imo even stop using grammar if necessary, get point across
      "red bad, green good" is unironically better than unspaced 10-line paragraph saying the same thing

      also misspelling common words but still making them recognizable is good. less space and it activates the brain more
