There are people who prefer short text, video or book; for me i prefer both short and long.
I believe that long texts, conversations, videos or anything long gives an in-depth, one is able to "feel" it whether it’s a book or a movie. As long as it’s entertaining and worth it, i do not mind at all.
For anything short, I’m into that also. But i feel people now appreciate anything short because they do not have the time, don’t want to joggle their brain or personal reasons as you mentioned.
With that being said, i can engage in anything whether long or short as long as it’s vital and doesn’t bore me!
