I also find a lot of the content in the LW/rationality space (especially Eliezer’s and Scott’s) long-winded for what it has to say, and frustrating that it lacks summaries (although this would be an easy fix). I find it doesn’t respect my time, and it shouldn’t take so long to be able to decide whether something is worth reading or not. I understand some people like that style, but I don’t.
I don’t find “dry” stuff boring. If the topic itself is interesting (and I’m interested in a lot of things!), it gets to the point, and the explanations/arguments are thorough and concise, then reading it will likely be interesting to me.
