Why not longer articles but with a 10-15 minute reading limit?

This is a good idea. (If I can't figure out how to get Substack to estimate reading time, I will make a back-of-the-envelope calculation of my own.)

I should point out that this timing information is on the Substack app not the email.

Keep things the way they are and eliminate additional pictures if finding them takes too much time. Do not want a longer article if it means some part will be truncated that I cannot read.
