I think more players should play 30/5 time control games for improvement

I have been experimenting with several time control options in order to improve my game. I feel like a 30 min 5 sec increment in a great time control for improvement. I know many people here either just play blitz or the 15/10. I still feel that a 15/10 game is not long enough for me to really analyze a position. I understand you can select this option under custom, but it takes forever to find an opponent. I would really like to see chess.com add this time control. What are your thoughts?

i feel same as you
i tried a 30 min with custom increment and never found anyone to play

30 min works good enough atm for my needs

i know there is a club that specializes in longer time controls

maybe it’s dan heisman learning center or slow chess club- something like this
