Who cares how a verse is structured? It's the words that matter.
Its a trend Bwhaha started
Now everyones doing it
Word I dont really like it to be honest its kinda off putting
but if you're dope theres an exception
Hate it, always have and always will...only a few can pull it off successfully and even then it's still a chore to read.

Ppl complain about the dumbest shit lol
It's just a different way of formatting a piece, if formatted normally the lines would not necessarily be long. Paragraphs and longbar are two different things.

Yeah. The way people look at this shit is mind numbingly ignorant. It's more a difference in writing process than reading. It reads the same way no matter how it's formatted. Anyone who doesn't see that needs to understand how programmed their way of looking at things is. There is no spoon, man.

Segmenting aids in both flow and analysis efficiency.

The problem with "long-bar" battling is that it often comes with really, really shitty wordplay and an attempt to squeeze said wordplay into every single phrase. Those verses are not bad because of their formatting but because of their clutter and lack of impact.
funny thing about whats going on in here is that text was more a live than ever when shitty multies and paragraph styles were abundant. now they have dissapeared... so have loyal texters. anyone ever thought about it from that angle?

I read that fine. And commas, periods are being used to help aid the reader. Comparing a sentence with none of that, clumped together is so far fetched. In fact my audience off of this site enjoys my paragraphs and they even make notice of "flow", and they dont rap or write. so, programmed thinking it is.

also, Ive written in stanzas many times. Infact I probably do it more often. Also, theres writers who post 4 sentences a stanza, center aligned that dont go attacked lol. But I can see why something different can be seen as impractical.

Comparing styles of text for relevance <-> determining how much hand contact is too homo at the circlejerk

I also don't feel like paragraphs sacrifice flow in any way.
I forgot to address that...maybe it's just how you are reading it?

It's a brick wall of clutter, makes me resent reading it. I don't know. I kinda agree with OP and I kinda agree with you, but I rarely care to read the shit. I find it smoother to read and get into when it's formatted ''better''. CopyPat is the only one that makes me look past the paragraph-style tbh.

ok, so maybe not completely -where theres like 3 people who do them religiously?
but i think if you were around back in the ez-board days and really early 2000's then you would understand what im saying a little more. if not -then of course you would say what you already have and try to be difficult. which i expect none the less from you considering that you believe yourself to be the authority in knowledge of whatever the fuck a topic is concerned with. but just know y words to be true. i once to -was a parapgraph writer. and i let the new wave alter my style just for the simple fact that adapting brings you a new wave of fans. and since the paragraphs and therefore the paragraph fans have died off and dekayed.... well -so has my old style. but its evolved into many different styles which i can use at any given time. so i aint mad. just wish it werent so.
dont give a fuck in all reality though. when this place dies. so does my internet presence. kinda done with it all myself as well .

I was around in the early 2000s on EZboards and such. But people broke up their bars more conventionally on the sites I went to.
My point was that the formatting choice has not disappeared. Nearly half of the verses on the first page of Open Mic are in that format.
