I can’t be bothered with long long chunks of posts I do start but get half way down and just give up

Me too. Just can't cope with reading very long posts.

I give up on long unpunctuated posts which don't have paragraphs.

I use more paragraphs online than otherwise. When people are reading on a phone posts seem longer than they would on a bigger screen, and it is important to break them up. I don't mind long posts, but it's so much easier when they have paragraphs.

I often give up on those long, long posts.

I find paragraphs make a post more likely to be read to the end

I don’t bother with very long posts with no paragraphs. Too off-putting.

I do often wonder, whether when they preview (maybe they don’t) posters don’t think, ‘Er, perhaps I ought to break that up a bit.’

I probably use too many paragraphs , but my eyes get tired trying to follow an unbroken text . I find it hard to read some of the long ones .

I completely agree. I too find long blocks of print offputting and indigestable.

I enjoy reading the threads on GN, but please break them up into paragraphs.

I was just about to read a comment but it was just one long block of writing and I find it hard to keep my place if I happen to look away.
