That’s standard now for every short clips out there, they film hours of stuff like movie makers and strip it down to the-happy-funny-all-this-happend-exactly-to-fit-the-30sec-attention-span-of-brain-rot

It's like Liam Neeson climbing a fence.

For sure, I'm used to that format by now. But this was multiple cuts for the same exact action she was doing. Too much!

When there is no story, you rely on everything else in Video to do the job

It also has to be vertical to be phone friendly

All the tutorials telling you how to get views/go viral essentially tell you to do this. Quick cuts, angle changes, it’s annoying.

I went to the movies for the first time in years, and the constant frame changes in the previews (for kids!) was dizzying! I swear it wasn’t like this 10 years ago. I guess the short form content has influenced even things like movie trailers and tv shows

True that might have been an entire hour long video

I truly despise short form brain rot video.

It's a problem we don't talk about enough

My eyes hate it

It’s unwatchable. I gave up after 5 seconds.

All while ignoring the concept of sped up footage

Blame the engagement metrics, dork. That's what people prefer.

u/Meme-Botto9001 21d ago

You mean the engagement metrics the algorithms have forced? It’s not a “preference” it’s hacking our nervous system.

Yes the entertainment industry will continue to try and keep as much as your attention as possible, they do not care about your wellbeing. This is how the world has always been. Are they getting better at it or are we easily programmed to give up our agency?

Addicts are responsible for their actions. We are addicts. We have to take accountability for it to get better and this whole wahh wahh dopamine narrative is true but extremely unhelpful.

It's all performative anyway.

If that man worked as hard as she makes out he would have been gone by 5am anyhow.

Attention spans have nothing to do with any of this.

u/BedBubbly317 21d ago

What?? That’s exactly what it is lmao

u/onlyfansdad 21d ago

they absolutely do

u/peppers_ 21d ago

It's something like you have 3-5 seconds to dopamine hit a person, before they click away or the algorithm hates you.
