Honestly, do we really read those long articles when we flood the screens?

My current sources of information are extremely fragmented, scrolling through one piece after another. Want to seriously read an article over 300 words? Difficult. I simply can't concentrate, my eyes are scanning, but my mind isn't.

Conversely, it's also quite challenging for those who write long articles. On this fast-paced platform, spending time and effort to create in-depth content, yet unsure if anyone will actually finish reading. The contradiction between long articles and fragmented information is thus formed.

Honestly, I mostly clickbait with long articles and really don't have the patience to read them all.

Too realistic, I often click in myself and then quickly scroll away. 300 words? Are you joking? I usually read summaries of up to 50 words. How could anyone have the patience to read in-depth content, unless it can be explained in one sentence? This is the fate of the Web3 community, all just quick news fragments.

That's why I've always said that the winners are those who can make decisions in the era of fragmentation. Long articles? I've said it before, that's a luxury in the age of information anxiety. You need to learn how to detect signals of wealth from thousands of pieces of information, and that is the true first-mover advantage.
