Yeah it was never a rule (I've already been contacted and been rapped for making out it was!), but I think you are spot on about short-form being more inline with many people's attention spans these days.

I see curie upvoting a lot of artists who put tens of hours into their creation soo that''s kinda cool they're not required to write additional texts to get some appreciation in form of curie vote.

Absolutely, when there is art/music involved there is less requirement for text.

I've never been a waffler, and would prefer to be typed at/spoken to directly much of the time. Many words are fluff - cue the attack of the writers and a bunch of unfollows for that comment :)

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read and respond :)
