Having a variety of content is important to give a platform like HIVE good engagement, and that bit of diversity; depending on the person, or their particular mood, or just how much time they have. Short, long, mixed lengths... The most important thing is that you have fun while doing it, and it proves meaningful to yourself that you made it, and that someone else might enjoy it, too!
That said, while I sometimes prefer shorter post lengths, I do ramble on a lot. Once I start, I get too much into it, and I can't stop. Sooner rather than later, I've typed out 2,000 words, even without adding any fillers to it... :-)
Diversity is an important aspect for a content platform to cater for all needs. People buy a lot of takeaway food, but some want to sitdown at a nice restaurant and enjoy a good glass of wine also. McDonald's makes more money than a fine restaurant - should we encourage the consumption of more McDonald's - or a home-cooked meal?
There's certainly the need to have a bit of something for everyone, and an important part of HIVE would be to present itself as a welcoming community. Whether you're writing short stories, lengthy blogs, posting artwork, or sharing videos, you'll know that there's at least one more person out there that enjoys those things. Fast food, fine dining, or home-cooked meals... Why not have all those things, just do what you want, and have fun :-) Cheers!
For sure - and I think that this is what I have generally done when I create and consume, as I don't really have the time to try and bow to popular opinion.
You do you, mate! I love your great content (along with your bro's ) in any way, shape, and form :-)
