Why do people write

Like this online?

It is incredibly

Annoying

Because average reading comprehension is poor. I had to start doing the same thing in work emails so that people would actually read them, because if I didn't they would ignore standard paragraphs that just register as lorem Ipsum text blocks to them.

same here, started to see the pattern of people asking questions which had been in the third line of a paragraph they were responding to.

unfortunately new lines are effective in getting people to read even if it is annoying to look at
