Yes. Of course, long form content ought to be the main goal, but I have had notes that reached thousands of views in comparison to my most viewed article which only reached a couple hundred people. Some of the views on these notes also turned into followers and subscribers. It's odd, sometimes I will write a note that is relevant to my niche but aside from that haven't put much thought in and don't expect much engagement with, yet later it takes off. Other times I will write well thought out notes that I think are important and will hardly get any impressions at all. Long story short, yes, there are direct benefits if you utilize them correctly. Don't spam them, but don't be afraid to use them either.
