    I checked the comments before opening the article and wasn’t sure what to expect based on yours.

    Holy hell, we really are catering to the lowest common denominator here. It’s not that I think we shouldn’t, we absolutely should, but our society really should be working harder to keep lowest from being so damn low.

      As much as I agree, I’ve seen plenty of articles that are so damn long it makes me wonder if they actually expect people to read it. Who has time to read an entire 30 min article where half is about a specific person’s personal story that’s only meant to back up the main points. Just tell me the main point and back it with data (bonus points if you kink every source you reference, imo).

        That’s why I think more detailed articles should be written like scientific journal articles. One to three paragraphs that convey the gist of the article and the remaining pages dedicated to analysis and explanation.

        Not only would this be more work than a normal article, though, it’d reduce ad revenue because most people would read the abstract and leave.
