One of the mistakes I see made with long form posts is that they aren't very conversational. They're written like they're blogs - broadcasts. That's fine if you're really uncovering some shit or teaching something, but the choir wants to sing with you not hear another sermon.
I think I agree with you.
What would be an ideal post for you? Curious to hear your thoughts.
For conversational posts @elvismercury's posts are some of the best examples imo along with @Undisciplined @siggy47 @Scoresby @supertestnet and many others.
Some of my favorite broadcast/blog-type ones are from @mallardshead. @Natalia @runningbitcoin @darthcoin do great guide-style posts and many others as well. @jimmysong does great bitcoin philosophy ones that are as much conversational as they are essays. @davidw would also do great conversational broadcast-style posts.
It's a spectrum and the difference is sometimes subtle but you know it when you see it. The best across both categories share a kind of care for the reader - helping them learn or getting them up to speed before starting a conversation.
Wait for it... my next long post will be a bomb. I hope you will like it.

We have quote replies.
I've never seen those kind of highlight comments (aka annotations) really takeoff. I suspect it's one of those things that sounds better in theory than it really is.
