I grew up reading a lot of long novels as a kid and rather enjoy long-form articles as well since there’s an opportunity to gain a richer perspective of the story. Texas Monthly has been around for half a century and their long-form articles are a welcome respite from short blips of journalistic writing that barely do justice to an interesting story to cater to short attention spans. I’m not saying this is the best article ever, but as an example of one I appreciated a lot, they once covered the twists and turns a Collin Street Bakery accountant took to steal vast sums from the company over many years so he and his wife could enjoy being part of the high society of the prominent small town. You might not care about that topic but my relatives have ordered this famous bakery’s fruitcakes for generations so it was a particularly intriguing story to me, and I know Texas Monthly was not trying to win someone like you over with clickbait. I’ve seen their hefty magazines on coffee tables for decades and I associate them with thoughtful writing. The story I mentioned is “Just Desserts”. https://features.texasmonthly.com/editorial/just-desserts/ https://features.texasmonthly.com/editorial/just-desserts/
