Pretty much social media as a whole.  Just last night I came across a post in a Linux FB group from a guy going on and on...and on about a book from a long-long-dead mathematician.  Not only was it several screens long, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Linux.

So yeah, mega-lengh posts are definitely a problem, as well as keeping them relevant to the topic at hand...Like I did here.
