I’m 49, btw, so I’m not the typical young person like everyone seems to think is the target audience. I think it will do pretty well. Webtoon, Serial Box and others are pretty successful.
I do try to be very careful with who I read in stuff like this and focus on authors I’m familiar with and genres I know I like. For instance I’ve only read “Island of the Dead” by Brian Keene in Kindle Vella because he is one of my favorite authors. And even if I’m paying a little extra I know he’s getting paid that extra for it too, which is a bonus in my mind.

I took a look at that one you mentioned...the first episode is about 600 words, a 2 minute read at most. That's not even a chapter in the lite fiction I sometimes read. I don't want to read a book/story 2 minutes at a time.
