You have to wonder what comes next.
The act of killing virality for long form content leads to a reduction in its production.
Then what? Do the deep and important, but not world shattering, stories stop being told?
- munificent 3y agoThere was plenty of "long form content" being produced for hundreds of years before the invention of social media. We called them books. I think long form content will be fine.
- bjt 3y agoBooks are one example on the spectrum of types of content here. They're not enough on their own. A book is a poor source for an in-depth look at pending legislation, for example. Essays, short stories, deep investigative news stories, etc. also all fall into the "long form" bucket. A lot of those had their natural homes in magazines and newspapers, and those have taken huge hits as people's attention has turned to short, viral, online things instead.
