Tomas, your plan to grow UT is wonderful news. I voted to keep your articles short and to the point but what I mean by that is to keep your deep dive articles but layer it with a summary up front, the “to the point” content in the middle, and the detailed details in the footnotes. You already use footnotes, which works really well for people who want more. Although most of the time I read your full article, there are times I do skip ahead if it’s getting too detailed. The sandwich approach combined with your awesome visuals and super interesting content will help you reach the various preferences of your readers, and ultimately your subscribers! I have already shared UT with others and will keep doing so. Best of luck!
When I receive an UT article, I know I am in for a treat. Sometimes I can’t enjoy it right away because I know it will take time and thought. That’s ok. There are all sorts of puff pieces out there that take a minute to read. Scratching the surface isn’t what I am looking for. Nuances aren’t easy or short, but when they are presented thoughtfully, they have immense value. Keep the length and depth the same. It is why I am here.

Thanks for coming on The Post! I’m a big fan of everything you’re doing and I love that your deep dives are changing the world!

Thank you for debunking the Cochran study on masks. As for the backlash - no surprise, especially with the turn that Twitter took recently.
