Reasons that occur to me (which are strictly SN’s fault and we should fix because I want long form content here):
  1. If you want to get to the comments it’s a lot to scroll through (particularly on mobile)
    • perhaps we should display the first 500 words, then ‘read more …’
  2. We don’t format long form content super well
    • we should probably introduce a an “article” post type that has larger text
An "article" post type with a "read more" toggle sounds pretty good.
