Any thoughts on the EA value of improving writing skills? Often I see EA writings as verbose and difficult to hold my attention. Obviously there is a trade-off between rigor and readability. I think EAs in general could do a better job of favoring readability (especially myself). This would also be helpful for newcomers to EA.
Possible solutions:
Writing classes
Extra time editing before publishing
More non-text media in content creation (diagrams, vlogs, podcasts, etc.)
Bullet points, TL;DR’s, and smarter paragraph structure in long-form writings
