This is awful. It’s the LinkedIn writing style and I can’t look at it without being reminded of all the shitposting that “thought readers” do. Thoughts?

Thoughts?
- iainctduncan 4y agoDid you even read to the second paragraph of the article??? He says specifically in the source... not the render.
- jyriand 4y agoI don't think it's awful. As he says you shouldn't publish your text that way. In editing phase you will merge one line sentences into paragraphs.
- zaps 4y agoAgree
- mirrorlake 4y agoMy criticism is that nearly the whole page is the comment section. The article itself is very short--pasted into an editor, ~200 words excluding titles. Perhaps putting every sentence on its own line also inflates an author's sense of how long their article is.
- dchest 4y agoWhy do you need a longer article for such a simple idea?
- matwood 4y agoI'm not really a fan of 1 line per sentence as the default, but agree with more breaks. Also know your audience. My default structure is: - Ask for what I want/why did I sent this email. - Explanation why using logical breaks. Which usually means I write my email, take the last line and make it first. If I'm emailing a technical colleague I'll include more details. CEO, 1 line bullet points.
