I Don't Write

That's mostly because I've been pretty tied up, in a fairly major project.
However, I [want|need] to get back to it.
One thing that I did, was create the "Shorties"[0] series, in the (so far, rather vain) hope that I'd write more.
We’ve already got a lot of short-form, low-quality content around the net.
You sound like you are someone who values high quality writing. You want to read good stuff.
If you want people to write good stuff for you to read, you should encourage them to practice!
It costs you very little to skip past content that you don't think is worthy of your time. But if you discourage people from writing that, they'll never get enough practice in to level up to the point where you DO appreciate what they have written.
One thing the internet doesn't have is a space shortage. what it DOES have is plenty of mechanisms to help you find recommendations for good stuff to read.
I didn't want to discourage anybody, but admittedly, re-reading my content could seem like that. Mine is not a "please write less" to the author.
I'm saying "don't value quantity over quality", which is one of the points that the author highlights in his opening.
My opinion is that you can practice at writing long-form, high-effort content. Maybe the outcome is not what you expect to be, that's not problem; you put the relevant time and effort at it, and you'll improve.
But I really doubt that firing a lot a lot of unresearched, unsubstantiated tweets will ever let anybody write a good article or book.
But every time I put an article on my blog, at least I try doing some research and check that what I write is at least reasonably correct and can make sort of sense to the reader.
But, we should put more emphasis on "proper" writing. Not quantity above quality.
