Should I avoid in-depth content on social media since attention spans are so short?

No, in-depth content is encouraged and valuable, but it needs to be delivered differently. In-depth content should feature you speaking directly to the camera—not a slideshow of images. People will engage with longer, more detailed content when there’s a personal, face-to-camera connection. Short-form content works for slideshows and quick posts, but educational or deeper content requires your presence on camera.
