When you're encouraging creators to invest time in substantive, specialized content—the kind that takes hours or days to craft—doesn't it feel counterintuitive that the platform itself doesn't really support that workflow? These aren't quick takes. They're deep dives that demand continuity.

Honestly, the fix is straightforward: leverage external drafting platforms built for this. Keep your detailed research and long-form pieces there, then selectively cross-post to social channels when they're polished. That separation actually works better than trying to compose everything natively.

nah tbh platforms have been architecturally hostile to long-form since like 2016. they optimized for engagement metrics not actual intellectual work. empirically speaking, anyone still trying to compose substantive stuff natively is just leaving money on the table.

To be honest, there's some truth to what you're saying... The platform itself isn't designed for in-depth content, and forcing it out is indeed ironic. The articles do have some substance. The combination of external tools + cross-posting is indeed reliable. But the problem is that most people simply don't have the time to mess with this setup...

To be honest, the platform itself is not designed for long content, and forcing in-depth research here is actually a waste of time. External tools + curated publishing are more reliable, and I've been doing it that way for a long time.

That's right, native editors are indeed lacking. Using Notion or Mirror to write in-depth content is the real way to go.

Honestly, the platform design now is completely opposite to the actual needs of creators. You ask me to spend a few days crafting in-depth content, but the tools you provide are still the same fast-food logic, it's ridiculous.

To be honest, it's naive to still expect the platform to optimize the long content experience on its own. The ecosystem is designed this way; what the platform wants is engagement and retention, not your deep thinking. It's better to step out, use professional tools to write, and then submit it back. After all, it still needs to be cross-posted in the end. Instead of worrying about platform restrictions, it's better to control the process yourself.
