Do you think Slate Star Codex is that bad?
It's frustrating more than anything. I write long blog posts (My recent "Short Takes" was just short of 4000 worlds - not all that short) but even when I go long, I make sure each word counts. Again, Scott Alexander never says in 1000 words what he could say in 5000. Also, he basically accepts all reactionary premises, but then pulls a big coitus interruptus on the conclusions and lets progressivism cuck him instead. There's only so much of that you can take.
