Do you think long-form blogs still perform better than short content in 2026?

I’ve been noticing mixed opinions lately about long-form vs short-form content.

Some people still say detailed blogs rank better because they cover topics deeply and keep users engaged. Others believe shorter, straight-to-the-point content performs better now because user attention spans are changing and search engines are getting smarter.

In your experience, what’s working better in 2026?

• Long detailed articles
• Short concise content
• Or a mix depending on search intent?

Would love to hear real experiences from bloggers, SEO people, and content writers here.
