Hey Guys,
The article word limit problem is a really big issue. Having a link at the bottom to the longer more in-depth version of the article would allow people who are really interested to learn further. Furthermore, a super short abstract of the article would allow casual skimmers (ie. non hunters) to get the jist of the article at just a glance. A tiered system would allow a reader to learn to the depth that he/she desires.
News journalists have the same types of article word limits which arose from articles being actually printed on paper and real estate was limited. This mindset can change now, it is the era of the internet and we should act like it.
I want to hear what you guys think about this idea if possible,
thanks,
-E
another thought:
The negative commentators would encounter responses like “he mentioned that in the indepth article” and they would feel justifiably silly. People will be less likely to leave critical feedback without going in depth so the critical comments will be of a higher quality and from those people who were interested enough to read the indepth article. Keeping track of how deep readers go into an article could be a very useful statistic which tells us something about the quality of the article.
