The culture of modern prose is ever increasing expansion, explanations of explanations of explanations. I don't find it that useful, and I think people naturally glaze over the majority of material they read. When material is unpacked for more succinct mediums, I tend to find the non-essentials and redundancy stripped away, leaving me with the real lessons of the material and what I really need to know to move forward.
