What's with the mammoth posts these days?

[Celeriacacaca]

Has anyone else noticed a big increase in the number of ultra long posts about fairly straightforward issues? Totally puts me off reading/engaging with them. What's changed?

I have noticed too. Usually in Relationships.

I take one look and move on.

Probably because you get accused of drip feeding if you don’t include every nuance.

People get far too mad over ‘drip feeds’, so OPs feel the need to put their life story in straight away.

Yes I have noticed this
A lot of essays
Definitely has changed > there are a lot more than there used to be

Poor unloved mammoths.

Probably because you get accused of drip feeding if you don’t include every nuance.

This.

Skim and hide. My new technique!

Yep I don't even glance, can't be doing with them.

They’re probably all by the same person.

Just out of interest,OP,what is your definition of 'a mammoth post'? I tend to lose interest if something is more than about 3 paragraphs long (possibly because I get confused ). I do appreciate that some posts are going to be longer if the OP doesn't want to be accused of drip feeding.
