"Who exactly is that for?" is the fitting question separating an average from a good writer.
Average writers often deliver "look how much work i did", resulting in a lot of unnecessary fillers and boredom. Good writers contemplated who they are writing for and edit accordingly. As a reader i appreciate it when my time is respected. Of course YMMV, so not an easy problem to solve as a writer.
