Effortpots tend to be somewhat long and don't necessarily have to do with books. I'd say that yes, the post with an anime girl at the beginning of the thread is in fact an effortpost, though a low quality one at that, as it doesn't create anything and just complains about known facts. Despite this I'd advise to filter/hide/ignore every single post with an anime pic.
Effortposts have depth to them. One liners may have such thing, but it's twice as hard to put depth on short sentences; that's why aphorisms, if well made, are masterpieces (Nietzsche, Confucius, Cioran, Montaigne, etc.). In the end identifying effortposts is easier the more effortposts you read, but it's the case that each day that passes effortposts are scarcer and scarcer, so newfags have zero exposure to them and thus the quality of the board decreases drastically. May one day the philosophy of effortposts is written.
In retrospective I should've posted more in the past, trying to uplift this forsaken place. I didn't do my part and now it's far to late, that's why there's no grieving inside of me.
