It's no tactic (at least not something that I know). The thing is that I ran a poll on Twitter asking if people prefer long articles or breaking them down in smaller pieces. Overall, long articles won (~50%, compared to ~30% of short articles iirc). But personally, I find articles longer than 10 minutes tough to read. It may be psychological, but I find it easier to read ten 1-minute articles than one 10-minute article.

I tell you what would be interesting, to see if you get more overall views and (more importantly) interactions with the multiple articles vs the one large one.
Obviously I have skewed the results by commenting on this article but still an interesting thing to explore!
From experience (I already broke a really long article into a series of articles, but that's one case and it may be anecdotal), the long article tends to do better than the series in number of reads, and you'll get more reactions overall with many small articles. Maybe it would be different if you posted each part of the series on different days instead of all at once as I did. But I was not looking for reactions/reads, more of convenience/options for the reader.
