I finally stopped writing giant walls of text in episode threads after a mod told me 'nobody reads a novel in the comments'.

Yeah, heard a podcast once where they called that "comment section dissertation syndrome." It's a real thing. The mod was low-key doing community service.

Oh man, that mod did you a SOLID. My old posts used to look like I was trying to submit a term paper in the comments section. I'd get so into breaking down a single scene that I'd basically write the episode myself.

Wait, you used to write the whole episode in the comments? Like, you'd describe the camera angles and the background music and everything? That's wild... I can just picture some poor mod scrolling past a wall of text breaking down the lighting in a cafeteria scene. No wonder they stepped in.
