At least on Facebook when they write like that you have to hit "see more" which gives them points on the algorithm for engagement

This is the way.

They're adding in

Those pauses

To make it seem

Like their words

Are carefully chosen

And so more important

That's how geniuses talk

What are they adding in? It looks like your post was cut off.

It's a shame because I was about to offer you a job because it looked like you wrote a lot, but I can't read something that's incomplete.

Good luck on the job search, you would do well to copy the whole thing next time.

I think it's because they're fucking morons who think it's somehow clever or creative.

It just makes me skip their post and move on to someone who respects my time.

I'm fairly certain that there's some kind of platform rule that will ban you if you write full sentences like a normal person.

They got tired of the hand clap icon.

This is

Much better

Than hand clap emoji

And it is

within CO2 consumption boundaries

Required for green washing

So that when you read their words, you go into a suggestible trance-like state, as if you were watching some self-help speaker or charismatic preacher talking on stage.
