A quick chat about how attention spans feel shallower nowadays and why short-form keeps winning.

Shorts feed “TikTok brain,” making it easier to commit to a 30-second clip than a full hour.

If the clip lands a laugh, it can pull viewers into the longer content.

- Attention spans feel shallower “nowadays” - Shorts cater to “TikTok brain” habits - Many people won’t sit through an hour-long video - A 30-second clip is an easier commitment - A laugh can be the hook that draws viewers into longer content
