Today, Explained · Attention deficit television · 21 Nov 2025 podcast

People are watching things on their phone now, and that there is a link between how long people are willing to watch a TV show, even if it's cut up into 100, 200 parts, if it means that they don't have to get off of their phone, go onto their laptop, and log onto the streaming service where they know that that show exists.

And it's also created for these kind of attention spans.

So, like, you don't have time to probably watch four episodes of Ugly Betty between your commute and the office.

But if you're on the subway and you have access to data, you're like, I could watch two 45-second clips of Ugly Betty.

So the best thing about microdramas is that they're not really dependent on these type of audiences that will give them the role.

So basically, there are a bunch of titles that I could, like, name.

For instance, Loving My Brother's Best Friend.

Girl, you have got to get over this crush.

He's your brother's best friend.

Or I Kissed a CEO and He Liked It.

The titles themselves aren't very inventive, but they don't need to be to capture audiences.

Yeah, so basically what happens, it's kind of a freebie situation where you will either get an ad, served an ad for these micro dramas, usually a very poignant part of the show.

That is exciting, is narrative driven.

And then it cuts right before you find out what happens next.

And then the ad pops up and it's like, please go to the app to continue more.

But for people who are active microdrama watchers, what usually happens is you have a free subscription and you can watch up to a certain amount of episodes of a particular show.

And then it costs anywhere between $4 to $15 to upload more credits so that you can finish the rest of the show.

And a lot of these micro dramas, because they are kind of reliant on these instant transactions, it's instant feedback, right?

It's people who want to scroll, who want to keep scrolling and keep following this.

They're willing to be like, okay, here's $2.
