I think half the population of the world wants just the facts, the other half wants long flowing beautiful content like on apple.com, and neither group knows the other exists. Of course this is the right way to do it!





I'm sure it's beside the point but...

Your benchmark for "long flowing beautiful content" is apple.com? It's competing with Hemingway?


Spoken like a true "just the facts" guy. If this is a competition then Hemmingway is losing hands down. Serious well-funded marketing departments came up with that long-form style, because that's what the vast majority of people respond to. I'm just happy they have a tiny "tech specs" section for me (and presumably you).

I just went on apple.com and tried for 8 minutes to find "long beautiful flowing content". Most of the actual text I came across there were not-so-beautiful legal disclaimers...

Can you share a link to what you mean?


I meant the whole site. I was using the word "content" broadly. That website is far from concise. 50 pictures of everything.

I would argue that pictures are concise, at what they’re aiming to do.
