Remember when people actually took time to write thoughtfully?

Seems like the era of deep-dive threads got buried somewhere between the memes and the quick takes. But honestly, there's something brewing again—quality long-form posts are making a comeback in Web3 communities.

Maybe it's pushback against the noise, or maybe folks just got tired of hot takes that fit in 140 characters. Either way, watching more creators and analysts return to proper essays, detailed breakdowns, and actual substance over speed? That's the shift worth paying attention to.

The lost art is getting restored, one thoughtful thread at a time.

Yeah, that's right. This wave is indeed a bit different. I've noticed the resurgence of long-form content, but it still seems to be a minority... most people are still scrolling through quick bites. But since some are willing to spend time writing, it's definitely better than all junk. Honestly, that's the main reason I follow.

In-depth content is indeed scarce, but the truth is most people still prefer to scroll through quick bites. Long-form articles are gaining popularity? Yet I still see a bunch of marketing accounts posting junk. The Web3 scene has always been an explosion of information, and now finally someone wants to write properly. Sounds good, but how many will actually stick with it? It might just be swept away by the next hot trend. I support this change, but it all depends on how long they can keep it up. Don’t let it become just another hype.

Actually, I think this view is a bit idealistic. Most people are still sharing memes and screenshots. I remember seeing someone analyze a 30,000-word technical report in a Discord channel before, and the comments below were all "Too long, didn't read" haha. But on the other hand, there are indeed a small number of people still writing articles, but their voices are too small and get drowned out. Are there many serious writers in the Web3 community? I feel like it's still just as noisy. Is long-form content making a comeback? I think it's just a celebration for a few, while most people are still just scrolling through quick jokes and memes.

Having experienced the 2018 crash, I realize that in-depth analysis is much more valuable than quick opinions. The wave of Web3's return through long-form articles is truly building momentum for the next round of rational discussion. Rebirth often begins with accumulation, and those who wait patiently will ultimately come out on top. The bear market indeed sharpens true thinkers, and I am optimistic about this transformation. It's another day of being taught a lesson by the market, but seeing people still diligently writing makes me feel more at ease. The more information noise there is, the more scarce deep content becomes—that's the opportunity. The bottom range tests your mentality the most, but it's also the best time to see people's true colors. Web3 needs this kind of voice. Don't panic; the art of losing is regaining strength. What we need is this patience. Quick, hot comments often lead people astray; long-form analysis is still the way to navigate cycles.

These days, there are still people willing to slow down and write properly, which is quite rare. Long-form content is indeed more easily overlooked, but Web3 is becoming more interesting. I dislike analyses that are condensed into memes; you still need to look at the details. There's too much noise, so I cherish articles that are rich and substantial. People must be hungry, right? Chewing on emojis on the phone screen is truly unnutritious. Good content speaks for itself. This comeback might really be happening. Finally, someone has said it: speed does not equal quality. Deep discussion thread >> Fragmented hot comments, I agree.
