What type of discussions do you prefer on the Product Hunt most?
I want to create the right ratio of what is wanted. I'm not saying I'll serve it all the time, but I'm curious what your favourite is.
Explanatory notes:
Long format – discussing deep topics in essays, writing a long list.
Short format – breaking down the deep topic into fewer "bullets" (used fewer characters in the article).
Polls – you just vote for one of the options, like the example in this post.
"Deep" questions – asking questions related to the industry. It can be difficult topics, where together we come up with the problem and solutions, and exchange experiences.
"Rest" questions – easy, fun topic, questions like "Are you a cat person or a dog person?"

For me it will be short format covering serious topics. I just like to read short, concise pieces of text. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate other types of discussions :)

I do create poll on serious questions. For example "quantity vs quality". Everytime I arrange questions like this I eliminate the least votes based on the minds of the innovative people here on PH, Apply and execute it immediately.
@busmark_w_nika it is true. guess what? the poll that won is "quantity" in PH. It has majority of reasons over quality but yeah. simple explanation is the country like China. they won the "quantity" game over consumer based products. Nevertheless both are excellent if you can execute it together.
I think if someone simply avoids writing about topics that have already been discussed many times here, then they're already ahead of the curve.
One gap in topics that I see here is stories. You could interview founders from PH and share their stories. In detail, because that's where learning comes in. An important part about PH is collective learning about how we can all build and grow better products.
For me, it depends on the topic. For example, with topics around development, growth hacking, tips & tricks or tutorials, I like a more detailed description to better understand the information and to be able to ask follow-up questions. When it comes to more casual questions or simpler topics, I'm a fan of not making things unnecessarily long :D
Rest questions on PH feels like noise at best.
Even for a question I prefer to get some insights. Like from this pool I get tips on posting for PH discussions.
Best articles I read were "Learnings" on building great product + space to get opinions form community on topic.
Bulleted points on very specific topics can really help, without parsing long conversational topics.
I prefer the short format, but I have a question. Very strong question that I want to ask you if you can answer me this question I’m ready to help you out for something.
Good question. I personally like questions that really give someone something!! don't for how long we're gonna see questions like, "What are you doing this weekend? or Twitter or LinkedIn? Coffee or Tea?" There are lots of questions like these that I find useless.
