If you don't like reading anything longer than 1 line, then what's the diference between you and a random normie who lacks self reflection and common sense?
I understand that sometimes we're tired and not in the mood to read a relatively long post, but when that becomes a habit, well, we have a problem.
And the idea that quality >>>> quantity is relative, not an exact science.
If I want, for example, to explain the positive and negative aspects of the British vs Spanish colonization in the Americas, I won't simply say: because the former was a settlement colony, while the latter was an exploitation one.
I actually need to go deep in the subject, by asking questions and answering them, for example: can an exploitation colony also be a settlement one, since in the Hispanic countries where the Spanish colonizers were more worried about exploring it's richness than settling and starting a new life you still have tons of Spanish colonial genetics, clearly presuming they also settled there and were absorbed into the native pop?
The idea that texts should always be fast paced, the less the better, is a common trait that I don't value, many times the more the better.
