Yesterday I read [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-173737/@xxxxxxxxxx/why-don-t-you-post-short-content-memes-funny-photos-links-content-people-will-actually-engage-with-and-care-about) by @xxxxxxxxxx in the [Ask the Hive community](https://hive.blog/trending/hive-173737), one of my favorite communities on Hive. The post asked why we don't have more short form content. That got me thinking, **exactly why don't we have more short form content?** Is it because of the fear of being flagged? The perception that longer content is better, and that the author has put more effort into the post? Regardless of the reasoning, **we need a culture shift!** # In reality,some of the posts on Instagram or Twitter that have gotten the most engagement are all short form posts. Does anyone remember the picture of **an egg** on instagram that went viral? Yes, let me remind you. This post of an egg received over 50 million likes and over 3 million comments, which broke the record for the amount of **likes** on a single post.  https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOGulcndj-/ What I'm trying to say is that a post doesn't need to be long to attract attention, and it certainly doesn't need to be long to be meaningful, interesting or be engaging. So let's shift our culture on Hive as to what constitutes **quality content**. Let's start embracing more engaging short form content.

Maybe to start off this experiment we can try a mix of both (: @nextgen622, I do agree that longform content is generally favoured on Hive especially, but we can slowly shift people's perceptions.

Exactly. Iโm generally posting longer content still, but I do like posting short questions in the Ask the Hive community.

Quality better than quantity at times. Some short content tend to have more value than long content
