Same here! I had an article on Longreads [0] open in another tab when I saw this headline and felt like I'd better hurry to finish it!

Longreads seemed to have an editorial shift a few years ago. Among other things, it no longer commissions much (if any) original stories. And the linked stories mostly fall into the personal essay camp which I'm personally less interested in. I generally liked the longform.org mix better. Sad to see them shut down.
