I agree, I see it time and time again not so much Vids without a narrative, but more so with quick retorts (sometimes valid) which necessitate several …(full stops) or other unnecessary gobbledy gook e.g asm,krl,kxxxysjrj to fulfill the character limit threshold, just so the post is viable. Really annoying I know.

Another point to bear in mind is that a lot of new users are very timid and will only post short comments.  
I include myself in this. It took me weeks to summon up the courage to post online for the first time.  
I imagine a lot of us have forgotten this and how it felt.
