I just don't understand why people are motivated to write essays. Too much work.

Then there are the long rants that are amusingly quoted by the naysayer of that viewpoint with a one line put down. I never read long essay length posts on here. I just wonder what other's toleration limit is. At what point do people stop reading ?
TLDR. Does that answer the question?

the less one writes, the fewer mistakes one makes.

The same goes for chess...
Thanks for the corrections. I hope to reciprocate your kindness now and also in future towards your good self...
You could have started your sentence with a capital letter. I wrote 'use' instead of 'us'. But I think my spelling of 'toleration' is correct. It just goes to show that there are none more intolerant than those who profess tolerance...

Yes, I know what you mean. I have the same view of posts that promiscuously incorporate quoted previous posts in their entirety from the same thread, a practice that has much the same effect

Part of my income comes from writing. Sites like these are a good place to practice. If I write a long post I try to make it genuinely useful, and not a rant or put down. No-one is obliged to read them if they cannot summon enough concentration or just are not interested.
Part of my income also comes (indirectly) from this and I actually enjoy the process of writing. I too eschew put downs and rants, and prefer to write posts that are, I hope, philosophically interesting, constructive or entertaining. That said I'm sure I don't always succeed and I can fully understand why many readers might declare some of my posts to be "TLDR" or not wish to spend time on writing lengthier posts themselves.
