I don't generally have a problem with long-form, but if your article has a title that implies there's an argument in there, I feel like you owe it to the reader to at least give some idea of what that argument is within the first 5 paragraphs.
After reading the whole thing, I got the distinct impression that the author probably strongly dislikes readers who want (or are used to!) an argument presented in the first 5 paragraphs.
I only made it 1.5 paragraph's in. I quit reading at "vomity."
I mean, maybe I prepared myself because the title itself suggests a complexity, but I felt the length was both warranted and necessary to make its case.
