Ah, that explains a lot actually. The passive voice is a way that people use to increase their writing volume.
That last sentence is passive voice.
Active voice (the preferred) would read "People use active voice to increase their writing volume." Basically, active voice means that the subject of the sentence comes first followed by the active version of whatever verb is being used. When people use "to be" fillers (is, are, am, etc.), spotting passive voice becomes easier.
