AIBU to think that posts need to have a word limit?

I am finding very long OPs hard to engage with.

I long for brevity - bullet points even in both OP and replies. AIBU?

OP posts:

Sometimes I do struggle to read longer posts but I think that is due to my lack of patience rather than the poster.

I think some people who post often won’t have people in real life to share with and if they don’t put all of the information in one post they get accused of drip feeding.

My biggest bugbear is quoting the OP in replies. Please make it stop. We’ve all read the OP.

The OPs that I tend to give up on and hide are those that are clearly AI authored/assisted, or very long screeds without paragraph breaks or much punctuation.

There are some that just go on and on and I tend to give up on those. Men in particular on here seem capable of self indulgent naval gazing OP’s.
tricky though because people get shot down for drip feeding if every minute detail is not included in the OP
