>IMO it makes for better content.

Sorry but this even sounds wrong. You can write an eternal masterpiece in any form. Short story, a poem, a novel, an anecdote even.

In fact shorter form is more challenging. You have less room for a mistake. And lets be honest: most people are terrible writers|composers|painters etc.

This is one of the reasons you see threads and services that can present you threads in a more convenient form.
