As much as I agree, I’ve seen plenty of articles that are so damn long it makes me wonder if they actually expect people to read it. Who has time to read an entire 30 min article where half is about a specific person’s personal story that’s only meant to back up the main points. Just tell me the main point and back it with data (bonus points if you kink every source you reference, imo).
That’s why I think more detailed articles should be written like scientific journal articles. One to three paragraphs that convey the gist of the article and the remaining pages dedicated to analysis and explanation.
Not only would this be more work than a normal article, though, it’d reduce ad revenue because most people would read the abstract and leave.

Mmm, yes, show us your kink sources.
