While I agree, long form content is almost exclusively better, it can be daunting. Medium was great as a quick scroll/dopamine hit, and long form goes against that. Also many long form articles are only made long via meandering threads, injected personal anecdotes, and literal filler. Strip that away, and it ends up closer to a Medium article. It takes great effort to write a long article that actually benefits from being long.
