Why is this done?

Question

I've noticed that more often than not, people will read the bold part of the question, but the details go unread for some reason. The answerer ends up giving a totally unrelated answer and there is no value to it because it is irrelevant. I guess the true test of this is how many people will actually read this part and respond accordingly...

Answer 1

responding accordingly. I read everything, if it's too long I skip it. rather than looking like an *** I just don't reply. 2 points don't mean **** to me anyway.

Answer 2

it's laziness.

short attention span theater online in most cases one must try the best to aquire that logic then try to work along with it.

people like short and pretty.

oh sure there's some who read all the way but it seems that number isn't as consuming as the ADD sufferers out there.. this is an impatient time and online it's even more so.

i work hard with my site to keep the pages short and full of pictures.

Answer 3

I read the whole question to properly answer. Women tend to go into more detail with both questions or answers...most guys just give straight forward answers...less typing i guess lol...Hello my name is Cheryl S and im a readaholic...take care and have fun...

Answer 4

I suppose it's because people are too lazy to read long/slash (what they think is unimportant) parts of question.

Answer 5

A lot of people are just out to get quick points, or so it seems.

Answer 6

Answer 7
