Anyone find Chase's articles needlessly long and rambling

[DarkKnight]

I still could probably be more concise. Sometimes I’ve tossed articles I was halfway through because they rambled too much, but the second draft is much, much tighter.

Nah dude your format is good as it is. This random guy who suddenly pops up should not have that much of a voice. Most of the guys here are loyal because your stuff is superb

Anyone who can't enjoy a 5,000-10,000 word article written by a master of his craft does not deserve respect or consideration as an intellectual or aspirant.

If you're a little smooth in the brain, Chase has already created girlschase.tv just for you (no offense to girlschase.tv or guys who like it who also avidly read).

Oooh they're just for geniuses... got it.

I find this response to be overly wordy and unnecessarily verbose in it's utterly apparent lack of concise and skimmable, easy to read-ishness

"A little smooth in the brain" is one of the greatest insults I've heard in a while. Definitely going to steal that

Thing is, he wants to make sure everyone gets everything. Sometimes you will get some things intuitively, and you will find that he is rambling a lot... however the times you don't - you will be happy he did that. Now someone else may find those things you consider "rambling" less intuitive and will be happy about him going deeper into it, and the thing you did not find intuitive, he may find them to be "rambling".

Yeah, Chase is a master at avoiding misunderstandings in his writing by just explaining everything, including all prerequisite knowledge as well as all his presuppositions, one by one, and then backing them up with reasoning, logic and proof, also one by one, and finally, tying it all together.

I've noticed sometimes my forum posts got misunderstood, and I get replies that make me go... "okay you missed my point"... but to preempt all possible misunderstandings requires thousands of words for each idea. Chase puts in that work. And that's why his stuff is so popular.

What's exactly the point of this question ? You are of course entitled to have an opinion, which is highly subjective, on the writing style of the author. But I don't understand why you are looking for validation on this matter from other forum members.

No marketer worth is salt is going to be overly succinct. The longer you spend on the page, the more revenue in general.

Duh.
