What is the Ideal Post Length?
What is the Ideal Post Length?
When I'm on Medium.com I see lots of posts that are 5-8 minute reads and I tend to enjoy them a lot. Most of the best and most impressive articles I've read on STEEM took about 12-15 minutes and even most of my best articles (IMHO) tend to be in the 10-15 minute range.
But I've also come across amazing 3 minute reads and I've written some short and interesting posts too. I just want to know what kind of content length Steemians most enjoy. I assume it's not too long due to busy schedules and I hope it's not 1 minute or less posts/memes either.
You may like a wide variety. just select your favorite.

How fast am i supposed to read?
What i like is about three sections long.
Long enough to cover three pertinent aspects of the subject, but not a dissertation.
Interfaces like Busy or websites like Medium.com show an estimated post length for reading. I was referring to that.

It varies 3-5 makes sense but 2-3 is acceptable.

I think the ideal would be to read five minute posts, and sometimes longer ones that exceed 10, only when it is necessary to extend more.

3-5 is the most digestible, I think. But sometimes certain topics require more details, so even I read a single post for even 15-20 minutes.
It's probably best to look at things the other way around. Not how many minutes the readers might want to read, but how many minutes would it take me to present my point in the best possible way. Essentially balancing accuracy and clarity with entertainment and boredom.
