- jonny_eh 14y agoReally? Do you have evidence for your statement of fact? I would think both are a factor.
- dave5104 14y agoThis doesn't really back up his argument, but Nielsen's done all sorts of research on how much people read: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/percent-text-read.html http://www.useit.com/alertbox/percent-text-read.html In summary: On the average Web page, users have time to read at most 28% of the words during an average visit; 20% is more likely. So length is definitely an issue. Not sure on organization, but I really can't see the simpler FAQ style /not/ helping with scanning the page.
- mattdeboard 14y agoI read 0% of 100% of the Terms of Service I encounter because they're not worth my time to parse. I actually read through this one. Anecdata.
