Interesting that you say that while excluding screen-reader folks by not including an ALT text with something like "a yellow background with black text reading, "tl;dr" withva second line of "too long; didn't read". See how easy that was? And I'm not even good at it.
It’s an unfortunate situation where complicated topics full of nuance have to be distilled to point where they lose their inherent importance and unique character
When you dumb things down, you make yourself dumb
Long form discource is where intellectualism resides and thoughtful answers thrive
I agree
The vast majority of people can’t participate in an intellectual discussion at all. They have zero capacity.
Dems need to convey facts and truth while ridiculing MAGA 24/7
That’s the world we live in
MAGA men and women are simpletons. They understand high GROCERY prices and not price GOUGING. If it’s more than 200 words, they won’t read it. They think Billionaires are successful and don’t care where they got their money. They forgot what communism is. Social media is their world.
——SIMPLETONS!
🐰🦋 I think there is too much 'fluff' in a lot of pieces. Are people being paid by the quantity of words or by quality?
I prefer short, precise, make your point and don't waste my time pieces.

True. What’s a good option for people who want to know all the things and discourse but only have 5 minutes vs 20 minutes to read? Like, I desperately need a shorter version but I don’t want an ignorant one. We have massive amounts of important information to process in a short amount of time.
Also true is that it is exponentially easier and faster to navigate platforms without ads and popups and shiny things. Platforms with all the noise distractions carry a HUGE measure of blame for promoting ignorance and oppression.

It’s not a mystery. There was no such thing as TL;DR
They *gasp* read actual books. Then they *gasp* thought about shit before they then wrote about it before they spoke
Legislators now are just idiots
We can’t be both
Waste time on your own
