Having worked in media tech for the last 10 years, I can confidently say we're past the point where this is a technology problem. Short form, long form, live...it's all been solved to everyone's satisfaction (though not saying it's easy). It's all content and analytics now. I think Facebook was counting on a "if we build it they will come" approach, but that doesn't work on me-too products. Your users won't invent the next big hit for you...not when content offerings on the internet are this mature.
