I kind of miss the articles that span 10 pages and really dive into a subject matter. Modern long form articles seem unnecessarily padded with personal stories to me. The actual information content is not that much in the end.

For a good example of long form journalism done right, I heartily recommend The Guardian's article about what will happen when the Queen of England dies [1]. I never thought there would be that much protocol to it, but clearly I was wrong.
