isn't a blog post to some extent just the modern version of a paper? personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with short papers and that any aversion against them stems mainly from the whole overvaluing of paper and citations counts

and quite in contrary, if it wasn't about the aftertaste of trying to inflate paper counts, then I guess such only-blogpost-worthy papers are actually super nice, because in the end they're still just about making some kind of knowledge or insight a bit more persistent
I think so. I'm still making sense of it a bit. My experience is that if I find something interesting enough to work on, there are usually a number of directions to unpack well, and I have always veered in the direction of doing that unpacking first. But it's difficult to say what's best, of course.
A bit separately, with regard to the three types of positive reactions which I have to short papers, I'm not totally satisfied by having lumped them in together with one another; there are some qualitative differences to the story in each case, which I ought not neglect.
