Don't be ridiculous. The New Yorker regularly has articles of this length if not longer. It's ordinary longform journalism.

- notacoward 7y agoThere's nothing wrong with something being longer if the content warrants it. Complex topics require lengthy exposition. But that requires the writer to write, to arrange and connect things into a coherent narrative. That's not what happened here. This is a thin article, padded out to novella length with repetition and irrelevancy. Again, it's not bad that the article exists. It just needed a better editor.
