I hope thats wrong, like a city/state with the amount of people we have, i'd hope there'd be enough interest if the right organisation/journalist came along. But for now, i think the same.
There's a pretty strong anti-intellectual undercurrent that runs through most of the mainstream population. That kind of mindset not just disregards in-depth writing, but is annoyed by it. Sometimes angered, even.
I've felt, its not so much 'anti-intellectual', but very strong 'anti-tall poppy' sentiment. I think its a key reason why Mcgowan was much more liked than Barnett. Both smart people, but Mcgowan was perceived as being more down to earth.
I'm okay with "in-depth" comments that are short comments on Lemmy lol
Super long articles, fair enough, I struggle these days to get through investigative journalism articles that take hours to read.
Lol, i started trying to read, properly, again after a years long hiatus from anything of substance. The struggle is real :) I'm better now, but i practically have to force myself into low distraction situations.
Still, at least we're not stuck with short tweets as the limits of our attention span
