Time is also a factor for many in busy lives.
It definitely is, which is why people should spend more time on what has value, and less time on what doesn't - people themselves are the judge of that - we all make our own beds.
I like the variation that comes through my feed and would switch off if it was all shortform - even if I don't read all the long posts that come through. I am not a scroller of useless, I like something that adds some value to my experience in some way.
Agreed, I see many shocking attempts, well not really shocking, let's rather say poor attempts at posts whenever I go on a scroll. A post had 3 photos and 2 one liner quotes for instance.
At times I think that the world is becoming obsessed with short cuts and quickies,
Mind you one can then post 4 or 5 posts per day with these kinds of posts.
More money I presume!
