This essay could be used as a blog post if you desire.
According to Kevin Lee, the ideal blog post is 1600 words in length that takes seven minutes to read. Lee’s data shows a range of reading time of four to nine minutes. https://buffer.com/library/the-ideal-length-of-everything-online-according-to-science/#:~:text=The%20ideal%20length%20of%20a%20blog%20post%20is%207%20minutes,be%20one%20that%20people%20read.
Wes Foster agrees with Lee but points out that writing a 1600 word post every week is not a probable outcome for most people. Foster posits: “the most important factor of any blog post is to effectively balance reader time, value provided, and search engine context” (at the end of the webpage). https://www.wesfed.com/blog/ideal-blog-post-length-seo/
