I love longreads, but I wish writers wouldn't feel the need to switch back and forth between vignettes and facts/analysis. Some pieces benefit from vignettes, but most don't. You can actually write a longread with just facts and analysis, and it often works well.

I find this incredibly tiresome and wasteful of my time and wish they'd stop it. Give me the facts. Keep the scenes for your certainly upcoming book.

you'd really prefer to read a long New Yorker-type story without any descriptions or dialogue or scene setting? No sense of who the people are?
