Is this why anything longer than a sentence gets downvoted or plagued with "didn't read" responses.

I don't think people realize how stupid they are making themselves look on a almost purely long form text based media format to say they don't have the reading comprehension or patience to read anything longer than a tweet.

To be honest, I think this is more than or different than general reading comprehension. This is largely about reading only the headline and imagining you read the post, which can be done at any level.
