Do you read long texts? (My own research for marketing purposes)

A short text to get my attention and a long one if I'm really interested in the topic

I'd rather read either short but concise texts or middle-lenght texts honestly

It depends, but usually if the person sending it has a good history of articles and texts then yes.

Short text. Even when it needs to be long, it can always be broken down to smaller parts!

Yes, I do. And I read short texts as well.

Read a lot of AI papers.. They are so long..

Short text for office. Long texts from friends and family. <3

It really depends on what the storytelling approach it is. The other day I was reading an article by The Verge and the copy is more dense, but it's also a different kind of consumption (long-form story). For copy like that separating the paragraphs is annoying as it breaks up the content. For social media posts and simple blogs it's different though. My rule of thumb is 300 words per header, 3 sentences per paragraph and no more than 15 words per sentence. (I think these are originally recommendations from Yoast)

I'm a short-text reader; excessively long texts distract and lose their importance

Yes i like to read long texts

I'm more inclined to read long texts (blog articles and such) if the text is well-researched and written. I don't find short texts compelling since they usually just contain very general information with low value. Exceptions can apply, but it's like this 90% of the time.

Yes, I do read long texts. I enjoy reading books. Sometimes I read short texts for work, but I love exploring different aspects of the world through reading. Recently, I was reading about the World's Manmade Wonders.

On social media, the only long texts I read are threads on Twitter (X). On Platforms such as Instagram, I tend to not read the long captions. I believe one intriguing line is good enough.

short text for IM, long text for content

Depends on who sent it. people reaching out on Linedin for support on PH, no. Teammate stuck somewhere, yes, to the last word.

I can never read long captions and descriptions. It's always just one line that attracts your customers.

Short and to the point does it for me. Don't tell me about your dream last night that helped you come up with the realization of the idea you are about to present, just get to the point 😁

short text only

Depends on the text. Good copy can make me read longer but it's rare. Usually i will resort to scanning and reading some lines that catch my interest.
