Why I Prefer Shorter Articles on Medium?
My perspective on the length of an article
I have a queer habit. I stumbled on a topic that you wrote about. It caught my interest. But I often looked at the number of minutes in your article. I saw 6 minutes or more. My heart sank.
I think hard, “Should I or should I not?”. To read or not to read that is my fundamental question.
I follow more than 100 writers, and my time is limited daily. I wish to read your article, leave a comment, to tell you that I am with you. But long pieces are a bit challenging.
I think 3 to 4 minutes are ideal for me. But with 6 minutes or more, you need followers with plenty of time to read what you posted.
Maybe you will disagree with me, but for me, that is my comfort zone. I am not sure if I can find a way to solve this challenge.
