Conlon's conjecture on the extremal number of fixed-length tight cycles

Let r2r\geq 2 and let C(r)C^{(r)}_{\ell} denote the rr-uniform tight cycle of length \ell. Conlon's conjecture. There exists c=c(r)>0c=c(r)>0 such that, for every r+1\ell\geq r+1 divisible by rr,

ex(n,C(r))=O(nr1+c).\operatorname{ex}(n,C^{(r)}_{\ell})=O\left(n^{r-1+\frac{c}{\ell}}\right).

This is a conjecture about the extremal number of tight cycles of each fixed admissible length. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
