The way I structure sentences can often mean I have over 20 words, but it flows and reads just fine. I use hyphens a lot - I believe it's a lot nicer to read.
For instance, here's a lengthy sentence from a review I provided:
"To check out the content, I downloaded 11 different videos and I have to say – this place is really taking sensual smut to a whole new level of interesting."
I've tried several different review methods over the years and A/B tested with clients to get the format down. I'm more than confident that my approach to writing - and my inclusion of sentences over 20 words apiece - is totally fine when it comes to user engagement.
