So if you have a short attention span would you prefer watching 10 minutes of 2 hour movie or you would rather prefer watching 10 minutes of 10 seconds funny videos on TikTok?!
Different formats are meant for different purposes, in another words you can't half ass movie, documentary or whatever long form video content type there exists....you have to watch it till the end, either in one go or in multiple takes.
For example YouTube became popular because it allowed on demand video of "short" video content, short compared to TV. As kids, teens and people in general became internet dopamine addicts, they sought more faster and "instant" form of entertainment and rest is history.
The same conceptual connection can be drawn with traditional "long" form video games and casual and hypercasual mobile games. People became more lazy and and the same time more "thirsty" for dopamine and mobile devs exploited that need with casual and hypercasual mobile games.
- amadeuspagel 2y agoYouTube initially had a 10 minute limit to stop people from uploading entire episodes of TV shows, and dropped that limit as soon as it had ways to identify pirated content. There are many things on YouTube today which are longer then anything comparable on TV, like 6 hour interviews.
