Yeah, no reason to punish short content, really. The market decides whether content is good, or not. I tend to aim at writing longer material, because I like going a bit more in-depth, but if the market decides that my long posts are boring, and they would rather read something that's short and sweet, then the short and sweet material is better.

Personally, I think it's that simple.

I think people are a bit too wrapped up in this idea of "deserving content". People should write what they write and upvote what they upvote. The market will sort itself out, just like it always does.

It's entirely possible to work long and hard on something that has little to no value, just as it is possible to quickly create something of big value. Value is subjective, and this "Labor Theory of Value" where the value of work is measured in how hard it was to produce is flawed, in my opinion.

You just reminded me of a post I wrote a few months ago: "Subjective Value, from a strictly extraterrestrial point of view" :)
