I’ve recently made 10+ posts here as a new user, and I realised the forum works differently than typical social media. No likes. No shares. Just merit — and it’s earned, not given.
Here are 3 things I wish I knew earlier:
-Short replies don’t help — you need to write like you're helping someone.
-Posts in quiet threads may never be seen — post where readers hang out.
-Original thinking matters — don’t copy anything, not even from your own posts.
Hope this was helpful to someone

You shouldn't think that way about the length of a post, because often in technical topics an answer in just a few words can be very valuable for a person who can't figure out his problem. And it's much better than writing huge paragraphs of text without meaning.
I understand why you think that, but thinking in long sentences is more of a gambling thing.
Also you can copy someone else's text, but then you must put it in quotation marks and mark it as quoted, because otherwise, many signature companies will consider this text as plagiarism.
