I agree to some extent .... a 1k word post should be enough, but it seems that the largest stakeholders and curators for now prefer longer ones. At least for hive ... in tribes tokens the situation might be different.
Note that some longer posts might be double language posts, like ENG/ESP, I have seen those situations.
Yeah I have seen those situations too and I love it because if you check the total length, it’s going to be 1200 words meaning it’s probably 60/40 or 55/45 words.
