You're not explicitly saying to dumb it down, but I'd be curious if this advice would scale to genuinely deep content.
The cynical hypothesis is that people don't want to think about what you wrote, and if you put enough pretty pictures and big fonts that even people who didn't pay much attention will have a good time.
I'd be curious if perhaps a seminal blog post (e.g. one of PG's) could be rewritten in this style without sounding reductive and oversimplified.

- brk 2y agoMost blog posts are not deep content though. Even from people that might be considered experts on the topic they are writing about. Deep content is still more the arena of whitepapers/e-books/conference presentations.
