Thanks for writing this! The “how to make writing more engaging” section seems useful to me, and so does the general pointer to at least consider putting more effort into being engaging with public writing.
I agree with the general sentiment in some of the other comments that’s along the lines of “actually sometimes a relatively dry style makes sense”. I personally have pretty mixed feelings about the “Lesswrong style” (as a reader and a writer).
(For what it’s worth, I didn’t really have a problem with the previous title. I probably would have hesitated before using that title myself, but I often feel like I’m too conservative about these things)
