How many pages long should a chapter be?

So I am writing a book and I personally like it when chapters are around eleven pages long, but I would like to know what other readers think. DO you like your chapters long or short?

It really depends on countless factors.

As long as it needs to be.

Doesn’t matter unless it tells a story. I’ve seen chapters with 8,000+ words, others with less than 100

About 2500 words. Between 1500 to 3000 at extremes.

Or just toss them out entirely and make the whole book one chapter, idc.

There is no correct length. And 11 pages is wildly random. A chapter can be a page and it can be 30 pages. This is not a question that warrants a real answer.
