Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation, it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality which is wrong.
I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from them.
Reading long post gets me more tiring so I'm not actually a fond of it. It would be more convenient for the readers to read a short post but the contents are well explained and summarized. Unlike those long post that have no clear point of view, and even if we get to read the whole post, I just think that I still didn't get the whole idea of the post. So for me it's best to avoid that kind of post. Let's focus on the content quality and how it can help and leave a positive impression to the readers.
Long posts don't necessarily mean all the content is on target, some have repetitive writing, some have explanations that are difficult for some members to understand. A good summary with a simple explanation makes it easier for the reader, even if it is written in just a few lines, it is also necessary to use simple language to make it easier for newcomers to understand the meaning of what they are reading. I'm not the type of person who is lazy about reading, but I often pass by writing that doesn't really benefit the reader.
