To add to this point: nobody can read all the long-form journalism out there. I love long pieces, read at least a couple each day, but I spent 20 seconds reading the intro to this piece and decided it wasn't worth my time. That's not to say it shouldn't be written that way, just that I'd personally read something else than this. So instead I just glanced at the HN comments to see if I was missing out.
