I would hope that nobody reads a listicle like that in one sitting, but rather sees it as a reference piece. But it is useful feedback nevertheless that shorter articles in a series may be a better way to get exposure.

Also interesting that due to where it was posted you wouldn't even attempt to read it.

Not something I had considered but I suppose if you associate DEV with short content then long content isn't going to appeal.

It is interesting as I had never thought like that I just look at whether something interests me and either read it or bookmark it, but it is super useful to know people approach it that way!

Thanks for the thought provoking perspective, I will be taking it into account when designing larger posts!
