About the lack of comprehension/attention skills evident on this site, and what it might imply about wider society?

The amount of times this weekend I've seen people replying with a response to an opening post, despite it being 5 pages long, with several updates from the OP... its mind boggling.

See also, people not reading the OP, e.g. "my kids (ds4 and dd5)..."
"How old are your kids OP?"

Considering this is a site for adults (supposedly well educated, so the stereotype goes), it actually baffles me

Just filter the OP’s posts and at least read those 🤷‍♀️

Tbh I’m guilty. I read the original post but there are so many replies. I should look to see what the OP has replied to

People are in such a rush to make their mark on a thread, they don’t bother reading the opening post in full. It’s tedious.
