I'm always curious about expository writing like this. I have pretty bad ADHD, so unless the topic is interesting or the information is summarized, I'd rather pay money than be forced to read it. (I noped out of this article pretty quickly.)

What makes reading articles in this style interesting? It takes a lot of time, so there's definitely an opportunity cost.

People who are interested in the topic find detailed articles on that topic interesting.
