How do you feel about the decline of long-form posts?

Personally I've come to terms with it.

Literacy rates are extremely high; being able to write a lot is not a flex anymore.

And the modern world demands so much attention there isnt much left to waste.

I try to convey as much meaning in as little words as possible.

It's hard, though, having come from formal education. Word quotas and whatnot; we were taught the opposite.

What do you think?

I love a well written long post. But in college I did learn to put things eloquently while still sticking to the meat and potatoes.

@ScreamingFox my experience in high school and college was they wanted us to write a lot. Pages and pages.

They rewarded stretching things out and hammering points flat.
