Post The too long didnt read effect
Hello Forkheads. I have a question for you. This is a question about attention span. I wanted to ask you ; is TL;DR due to a post that's un-necessarily long or could it be an attention span problem of the person reading the text? For example this post is an example of TL;DR, atleast for me. Other people seemed to have enjoyed the post, though in my opinion it's spam. Posts like that I ussually skim over.

A lot of my posts are tl;dr, I can admit that, I'm trying to change that habit of mine of puting irrelevant things in posts. Probably why Kain told me I was irrelevant. That post I cited in this topic is example of irrelevance.

Both, depending on the reader but more likely the 1st option.

Actually, the thread that you linked didn't have anything irrelevant to the post at all. It was long, yes, but each thing brought up all had to do with the specific topic being addressed. Most tl;dr posts done by other users on here are like that, and it generally has to do with the very short attention span and lack of care that most people have here.
