- silisili 5y agoIf I'm blunt, I rarely read long form things. I've found that most long form things are filler. If you make a movie, people expect 2 hours. If you make a book, people expect 200 pages. Both are generally full of a big amount of filler to meet said metrics.
- petra 5y agoEven with that being true, usually a GOOD non-fiction book will have more depth and value than browsing the internet. And you can skip parts while reading a book.
- silisili 5y agoI definitely agree with this. One thing I've come to find out as I age is how much does -not- exist on the internet. We like to think all the information in the world is here, but a ton only exists in spoken word(folklore?) and in older books few will ever read.
- Natsu 5y agoI'm reading webnovels, including some incredibly long ones that span thousands of chapters, so it's not just listicles or whatever.
