Wondering if most posters read the really really long posts or do you skip over them?

I notice I don't read them and I appreciate the shorter concise posts.  But maybe I've ruined my attention span with social media short sound bites (or bytes?)?  I think my eyes glaze over lol!  Not judging............just wondering what other posters think.  

Sorry if it was asked before.......looked around and didn't find any threads.  TIA for your opinions!

that was too long to read  ...

just kidding.

It depends on my mood. I think my attention span has gotten very small.

I don't.  Short attention span and lazy, I guess.  I just glance at them.

Lol!  I'll try to be more concise @Mary Bailey! (jk too!)

Not usually, but sometimes.  It depends on the topic, and dare I say, the poster.  Some posters are interesting and informative; others ramble.

No, I guess I have a short attention span....I don't read the long posts....also don't read posts with teeny tiny print..my old eyes can't focus on them...In both cases I just move on...

If it's informative, I'll read it.  If it's one long rambling diatribe, I skip it.

I also skip the posts with huge font and all kinds of colors thrown in.

Depends on the author.  When a person has a rant and says the same thing a hundred different ways that's not enjoyable reading.

Depends on the topic, always.

I might skim a long post, but if I am not interested by the first or second sentence, I move on.  If there are no paragraphs, I don't even skim.
