> I've seen a real trend over the past decade of a lot of people wanting to consume content/ideas/etc. from a slide format rather than reading paragraphs of text.

I prefer long form content... but spending time in the comments section of HN may show a revealed preference.

I concur with your observation. Piling on with a couple examples:

- Axios is a news service that only delivers information in bullet points. Unlike their long-form competitors, they are expanding into local news. [0]

- Long form content, such as books, are less popular. The average number of books read each year has fallen to a 30 year low. [1]
