I'm someone who just much prefers reading to watching YouTube โ€” I like being able to go at my pace.

So I was wondering if anyone here knows of any kind of website or app which has long form written content about interesting topics. Thank you! :)

What you're looking for seems to be blogs. Before YouTube made "vlogging" (video blogging) widespread, many people blogged with text. There's still tons of useful/entertaining blogs out there depending on your interests.

There's sites like Medium (https://medium.com) which is a fairly popular centralized service. There's even Fediverse instanced communities based on software like WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/instances). Many just have independent blogs around the web, though.
