I’m someone who just much prefers reading to watching YouTube — I like being able to go at my pace.
So I was wondering if anyone here knows of any kind of website or app which has long form written content about interesting topics. Thank you! :)

My first thought too. A library?
What website is that on?!
Nice username lol
I think they mean something closer to longform video essays on YouTube.
I unfortunatly don’t have a awnser but wanted to add I hate how all tech help has moved to video form. Written tutorials have then benefit of being clear and able to follow at your own pace.
Yeah this bugs me too. However, sometimes the key is scrolling farther down the search results. Google likes to put YouTube video results first but sometimes you can find the written instructions on a non google owned blog post the videos.
Also, Bing (I know, I know) will break down the video and sometimes link you directly to the party of the video you need.
At least you can try asking ChatGPT now?
Yes! Also being able to read/explore while doing other tasks like in a work meeting or on a discord call. It doesn’t require you to devote 100% of your attention.
You’re looking for blogs. Get an RSS reader and subscribe to blogs. Also, of course like others are saying, books.
I recommend buying the $100 Kindle with e-ink (or any other e-ink reader) and downloading all your books off of libgen.rs
It’s a one time investment of $100 but you get free books forever.
If you have a local library, please use that as well. Especially if they have a digital library catalog.
tildes.net might be what you’re looking for. It’s a lot like kbin/lemmy but no picture or video posts, almost entirely just text.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re after, but what about Wikipedia?
Easy to go down a rabbit whole reading on lots of interesting topics.
youre on it, lemmy and there’s also kbin
Substack
I started a community !downtherabbithole for this kinda thing but written content isn’t as easy to find as videos unfortunately. I’m like you and much prefer reading to watching. There’s at least one text link there that’s an interesting read. I think there’s a long-form community on lemmy too, that might scratch an itch?
Medium.com is probably the place you are looking for.

If it’s for DIY, home repair, and the like, wikiHow is decent.
