If that's true then it might speak to more than just entertainment consumption. It would mirror a trend in other areas like social media where before you would have long form blogs that went to facebook posts and now to shorter tweets.
Maybe it's a collective attention deficit disorder given to us by the constant distractions of modern technology.
- ghaff 7y agoIt's certainly the overall impression one gets and I see it in myself. TBH, one of the reasons I sometimes like to see a movie in a theater is that I'll watch it straight through whereas at home I'm likely to at a minimum pause it once or twice to run into the kitchen or just do something else for a few minutes. Among other things I do, I'm involved with content marketing/social media/etc. and there's quantitive evidence that viewing/reading is tilting towards shorter content in all forms. That's a bit different from entertainment that someone seeks out. But I suspect you have similar forces at work.
