    I don’t visit any of those sites either, in part because the formatting makes telling a story so challenging.

    Looking onto a page like this, it’s like one story was needlessly chopped up into little bits. Instead of several paragraphs formatted with the purpose of telling a smooth, coherent story, it’s cut into chunks whose only parameter is character length. Outside of modern microblog-style social media, that format doesn’t happen much. The result is scrolling and scrolling to read something that (I feel) could’ve been put into a few paragraphs in a single blog post.

    Put altogether, it comes off as chunky and without any clear flow. Microblog formatting is not conductive to story-telling. It’s not a criticism of the writer (I assume they were doing their best within the limits imposed), but of the formatting that breaks the flow that story-telling relies on.

      IDGAF about the topic the post is discussing, and I don’t need an article. I was more than fine with a quick, scannable version of what’s happening so I can forget all about it. I don’t know what you’re all triggered on. It’s a low-content low-effort highly-viral anti-AI anti-capitalism rage bait garbage post and it deserves no effort on the part of the writer or reader IMO.
