might be some good points in here but it's sooo hard to read.

It isn't as skimmable as some other writing styles, but if you read it one word at a time (either aloud or "in your head"), it's not too bad.

Sometimes if I'm reading something and having trouble with the words or sentences, I'll slow down and focus on the individual letters. Usually helps a tremendous amount.

It actually might be a psychological trick to make readers slow down and try to comprehend fully what is written. So, making something hard to read on purpose to get better comprehension
