Well I know that I appreciate the lj-cut when someone is posting dozens of photos (which can tie up all my RAM while they slowly open)
or when they are planning on writing spoilers for a show I care about.

But everyone has their preferences and I wouldn't dream of telling someone else that they have to do what makes me comfortable (I might take them off my 'friends' list, so I don't have to look at their posts if I don't want to, if I find most of their posts annoying to me). There are more people I don't follow on twitter because their posts are boring (but I'll save their links under 'favorites' so I can check them out occasionally to see if they've done anything interesting lately).

I probably annoy people because I don't lj-cut when I first post, but then I go back a week later and put most of the post behind a cut so it doesn't take up so much of my page.... It is a like a personal housekeeping preference.
