Answer:
YES and NO
✅ YES:
– If you are genuinely interested in a person, their thoughts, and expertise, you are likelier to read through an entire elaboration.
❌ NO:
– When the topic is boring to readers and you are not good at narrating, their attention will drift away.
☝ This matters:
– The narrator's personality (authority, credibility, expertise, etc.)
– The topic
– The writing style
– The form and medium you use (I am more likely to read the longer form in books than on social media posts.)

Yes, for sure, it depends. But I think in roughly 80% of cases, people prefer to read shorter and more informative texts.

If people are looking for some specific information or want to understand more about a specific topic, then of course long posts will win over short ones.

Personally, if I see a long post, I'm not inclined to read it. I like short posts with bite-sized bits of information.

I tend to read longer pieces when they cover topics I’m genuinely interested in, while shorter ones are usually for quick information. I think I decide whether to read something thoroughly while reading the first few sentences.
Yes but it depends on the topic or if something about new tech
It depends on theme
