Yes. Talking with, rather than talking at, is better.

π― More people need to realize this.
There needs to be a pop-up if you go over a certain number of characters:
"Did you want to write a long form article instead?"
Or a bot that does cliffnotes πππ
Both of these are great ideas!
Like just give me the takeaway π₯±π
TL:DR I want the meat of the story and I'll read the fluff if I'm interested.
I'm getting flashbacks of recipe sites. Spend 5 minute scrolling past the story to get to the instructions ππ
Exactly!! I don't care about your grandmother's lavender farm and fresh baked pies Susan, I want to know how to cook rice in my instant pot π
i think this started with James Beardβs American Cookery. It was written like a memoir with recipes. But that unusual style turned into a formulaβ¦
It's kinda funny because I like YouTube channels that combine history and recipes. But the story has to be interesting. That's the key.
when it becomes a formula, its uninteresting
It keeps you on their page so they get ad money. I have the "Too Many Eggs" book that gives a history on all the recipe types which is fun, but it gets a bit tiresome when it's EVERY SINGLE recipe and it's the same story every time.
someone does something unique and interesting,
everyone copies it, it becomes uninteresting and tiresome
We totally need a tldrbot π
I wish Amethyst supported writing long form notes. It should auto switch the note type. It just renders markdown and everything by default so Vitor didn't see much reason to use a special note type, but I think it makes sense to.
I like the freedom rant when a rant is really needed.
I don't understand the difference between long form and regular content and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
