It’s probably all the AI generated post but God they’re so bloody long.

I haven’t got time to invest in what colour socks you’re wearing when someone was unkind to you in the bus.

Summarise don’t drip feed. Boom

I like when people space their posts properly, makes it easier to read

Resilienceisimportant · 30/12/2024 12:37

My socks are grey and pink in response 😂. Haven’t been on a bus today.

Agreed. Posts that are too long aren’t helpful and probably aren’t read properly. Brevity is often a good lost friend.

I'm not wearing socks btw.

But I agree, posts seem to be getting longer and longer it's like reading a bloody essay these days

Agreed, tbh i give up when its just a long wall of text. I think sometimes its just therapeutic for the person writing it, which is good in itself

YANBU. Drives me mad.

White, with a cute pattern. I’ve never seen them before in my life. They’re mine now.

Also people who then quote the massive OP as well - we've all read it, no need to quore it again!

Yes I hate them and very very rarely read them.

They always seem to feature extra people too.

BarbaraHoward · 30/12/2024 13:35

Given any additional info at all tends to be jumped on as drip feeding I can understand why people do it.

I don't think it's AI.

I've started rambling threads before... it's not AI, it's usually just that they're upset and can't see the wood for the trees so they just burble everything. They haven't processed, in their own mind, which bit is relevant.

Particularly in Relationships.

My pet hate is when they conceal the sex of the main characters (unless they're children)
