I am likely to decide against my reading any LW post consisting only of bullet points because although I can recall reading lots of “ordinary” texts that proved beneficial to me, I cannot recall reading a text consisting only of bullet points that proved beneficial (except for manuals for products that need assembly by the consumer).
I think this is fair, although I’ll note that at least part of the issue is that not as many posts are written in bullet points so you’re just going to run into fewer to start with. This might be because it’s harder to write good posts in bullets, or might be because people just don’t write them for historical reasons.
(I also wouldn’t actually advocate an entire post be bullet points. What I like is for a post to have a clearly legible structure that helps me think about that. Section headers and high level paragraphs are part of structure too)
