There was a trend on the old LW that people were pushed to post in Discussion instead of Main and later in Open Threads instead of discussion because they wanted lower expected effort.
Adding features like curated shortform might mean more content that could be posted as proper post instead ends up in shortform.
It seems to me like it would make more sense if people who write valuable shortform content that’s well received then write a proper post about the content then if the shortform version gets more exposure.
