It’s also changes in market dynamics. Professional podcasters sell ads so they need lots of content, and the pivot to video or podcasters which advertisers drove means that things which a decade ago would have been a blog post taking 15 minutes to read are now an hour or more commitment for the same amount of information.

This is a common complaint here because HN is so text heavy that you’re not going to find many people here who can’t read much faster than the average speaker can present information.

Or they are just interested in the content?
