“ I realize that this article is quite long, and unfortunately this is the short version. Much nuance and history is lost here, even though the post is already long enough that it is destined for the limbo of a bookmarks folder called "to read later". Despite the fact that no one will read more than the next 3 paragraphs…” - pro tip - if you want to make the article shorter and easier to read don’t spend an entire paragraph blabbering about how long it is and how nobody reads anymore. I bet if the author had aimed to be succinct, the article would be half the current size and much quicker to read and understand.
