3: Long-Form Content and TL;DR

How can you be spoiler-free in this world? The long format is back: but we listen to videos and podcasts at double-speed - does this mean that there is a mismatch between the content and the listener? Content is now long-form, but we still want the TL;DR Audio is a better medium because you can multitask while you listen Spending time to read a book will likely improve retention The 50-page rule - if a book hasn't captured your imagination (fiction or non-fiction) by the time to hit 50 pages, give it up Read the table of contents and glossary to rip through a book How to solve the problem between search engines requiring long-form content and humans needing TL;DR Needs a qualitative, not a quantitative measure Maybe we should bring back the Yahoo! model - hand-curated directory model - community curation may be broken. Look at peer reviews for journals - use credentials - eventually there is an equilibrium between the best-credentialed reviewer and the least. Put a lot of onus on the credibility of the reviewer
