When a Jelly writes really long comments, do you read it all or do you scroll through?

I scroll past. I believe that most answers can be worded succinctly with enough thought.

19 out of 20 times I scroll. That’s why I work to keep my posts brief, and hit the major trigger words
Unless I’m on fire for some reason.

I’d say most people scroll past. There are a couple of us that get wordy. I know I scroll through to get the gist, but that is about it. I know, from the comments I get on my posts, that many don’t bother to read what I right or are so bothered by it that they feel the need to either change the topic or start trying to make personal attacks.

Mostly scroll, if it is a regular thing. If it is a post from a jelly that I respect, who doesn’t usually do that, I will read it, but the the ones who do it often, nope.

Unless I am VERY interested in the subject maybe skim if not just skip it all together.

@canidmajor GA and true. If it is the occasional long post from a generally succinct Jelly, I very well may read it then.

Me too @janbb.
I also try to keep my answers short.
I try not to repeat myself AND keep my answers short. Abd brief.
Unless I’m on fire about something then I just GO, and hardly come up for air and mindlessly throw words out.
I try to put the fire out before I post though. I mean I’ll focus on Judge Judy. I’ll listen hard and especially wait for Byrd to jump in. Byrd is one half the reason I watch Judge Judy. Her real name is Jufith Shindlin (sp, which means I don’t think I spelled it right.) Does anyone know how to spell Judge Judy’s last name? Sometimes I’ll hit up Youtube to listen to 70s rock. We had the best music!!! But we didn’t have Judge Judy. But we had Hawaii 5 0.
Kids today don’t have good music and they don’t have Hawaii 5 0. If they do have Hawaii 5 0 they do it wrong.
Kids today aren’t taught shop or Home Ec. I find that unbelievable!!! No Shop or Home Ec. SMH. That’s why kids today can’t do math or drive a car….AND THEY ARE HORRIBLE SPELLER! Unlike my Boomer Generation. ALL of us can.
And the Boomers know good grammar too. And how to use periods and stuff.
We Boomers know how to keep things short and relevant.
Oh! Apparently we had “Scooby Snacks” in the 70s! I did not know that. I just heard that on the TV, because I’m listening to something about “Things only some one from the 70s would know.”
Tube tops, check.
Clackers check. Yeah they were dangerous as hell. Saw one break and go through a class window once.
Streakers, check. Brad Y once streaked down 6 hall during 5th hour and destroyed my Biology class. I got good grsdes in biology. Kids today don’t even know what Biology is. And they are always high on weed…no wait. That was us. I got confused. They should make weed legal! But if they did that I couldn’t have had any students in my class at the Jail. Did you know I used to teach little miscreants at Jail? Favorite class EVER!
Oh! Light Brite! Check. I have one on a shelf in the utility room. Also Battleship! Which kids today don’t know how to play because they never learned about grids in Home Ec because they don’t have Home Ec in school. Actually they do. Last Home Ec I subbed in, we made pancakes. I could eat one million pancakes at a time! Did you know a million has 6 0? Or is it 5….what number has 9 0s in it? Speaking of numbers, they have never found they have never found the end of Pi and you can’t eat it. What good is it??? Oh. To find circumferences. Circles are CRAZY frm a math POV ( that means Point of View).....
I’ lm tired. But everything I just said is the utmost important. Oh! Remember when MJs hair caught on fire. And @seawulf575 spelled “right” wrong.

^^ LOL thank you for a perfect example; I did read it though.

I scroll, don’t even scan. I’ve read enough in the past to know that they typically wander off-topic and become a platform for the jellies to ‘educate’ me because they know all about it.

This is why I wish the current Yarnpocalypse would end, already. Much easier to assess what is worth my time if I don’t need to read the username.

I’m in agreement with @canidmajor. I ignore some jellies completely. There are others I would willingly read, because the writer thinks carefully. I also agree that jellies should return to their usual profile pictures.

Well I was on FYAH smudges! It doesn’t take much actually. Not when it comes to words. I could burn all day
(Did you teally read it all? LOL!)
Thanks!

How in the did that font happen??

Edit: I found how it happened….

@Dutchess_III Good catch. Thanks. And I still just scanned your long answer ;-)

Well it was a joke post anyway!

I scroll past.

tldr

Eh, I am the one of the ones posting long answers. I like to get my thoughts out. If someone doesn’t want to read it, that is their problem.

I will read or skim if it is very long
