My strictly personal hot take is that Quick Takes became a place of hiding from responsibility of top level posts. People sometimes write very large Quick Takes which certainly would be top level posts, but, in my model of these people, top level posts have stricter moderation and cause harsher perception and scarier overall, so people opt out for Quick Takes. I’m afraid if we create even less strict section of LW, people are going to migrate there entirely.
