why your content should be briefer

one of the recent things I learned is: people like to read or watch relatable stuff. you will not want to spend your time watching some thing that is not offering you anything useful -- there are some exceptions for this, like the videos you watch to be entertained before taking a nap, for example.

being briefer will help you keeping the attention of those who you are trying to convince that you are capable of being useful to them.

no one likes to read boring explanations;
no one likes to watch a 30 min video to learn two lines of code;
no one likes to watch you talking without giving real-life examples;

use your time to show and solve real problems, so, this way, you will be used as reference for someone that solve things without wasting your time. and, that is precious.
