Doesn't make sense man.

No clue, I couldn't even get through OP.

You read one word then the next, then the one after, continue this trend until there’re no words left to read, the quality of the words in relation to each other structurally is irrelevant when it comes to completing a task.

Define poorly written. Sounds arbitary. Do you mean with a fluent style? One that is easy to read? Conveys lots of ideas and emotions? Provokes thought? What if you are writting for two different audiences? For one group, could they percieve the quality of the same writing differently from the other group based on things like exoerience? Education? Being well read? Being well read in specific genres and authors? Another circle jerk thread ur all psueds who dont read new material.

The same reason they eat food that's literally just sugary slop. They don't know the difference and they don't actually know how inferior the shit is.

The overwhelming majority of people are inane and lazy, anon (not excluding us). In order to have good taste, one needs things like exposure, restraint, perceptiveness, technical understanding, and more. At the very least, one must be moving in that direction for some time. None of this can be attained to an adequate degree if one is unaware of their circumstances, or worse yet, does not care for one reason or another.

Those in the middle are most likely to cite subjectivity in defense of the publications they consume, but this is a sham. As for one to even identify a story, it requires a standard by which to discriminate; otherwise, the very act of, say, throwing a rock could be said to be the same thing as Don Quixote, when that is clearly not the case.

This does not, however, exclude individual expression and impression. Subjectivity’s place in art is that of a fish in a lake of objectivity. There are differences in size, form, color, behavior, and the like, but once one strays too far, it ceases to be.

How do you explain you reading your post before posting?

>>25163883
Substance takes precedence over form. Most people don’t wish to trudge through a text for it’s flowery language, sentence structure, and or prose, but what that writing represents when amassed into a whole. In other words, people don’t want to analyze a text, they want to read it, understand it, and be able to comprehend the themes without consulting a dictionary every other page. I, like yourself Anon, am too confused about peoples aversion to this stye, for I much prefer the densely packed novels of a Henry James over a sparse, but direct prose of a Ernest Hemingway.
