Perhaps it is attitudes like yours that are causing "editorialized" content to lose audiences.
You know, you come across as condescending and overly simplistic. Big words bother you? that's how the downward spiral starts. Soon enough, because of editors that "know what's best for all of us", we will all communicate using only one or two syllable words that *everyone* can understand. Soon enough, we will all have to sacrifice nuance and variety for the sake of simplicity.
That's not the type of world where anyone grows... thank you but no, let me keep the old practice of actually using a dictionary if there is a word I cannot understand. Let me actually learn something from what I read, instead of having to see the world through the lens of the big brother practice of numbing content down to keep the masses entertained.
