I think the Venn diagram of people who like micro dramas and people who love to read smutty fan fiction is like one giant circle.
And I think actually the appeal of micro dramas is that they're not a Netflix original or a Martin Scorsese movie.
They're the complete opposite.
They're a guilty pleasure at 99 cents a chapter.
So it depends on who you're asking in the industry.
If you talk to creatives, the second screen, meaning the phone that you're watching TikToks on while watching a movie on your big TV or whatever.
the iPad you're surfing Exxon while watching a TV show on your big TV.
The second screen is just a lack of attention that is being paid to the main movie or film on the television.
But if you talk to executives, the question or the problem of the second screen rather is one of does the adoration for TikTok and Instagram reels and YouTube shorts mean that people will spend enough less time with our streaming services that they'll cancel and we have to fight back for those subscribers.
But before the phone came around, people would do this with magazines and they would do it with books and they would do it with other things.
We've always been distracted by other forms of entertainment competing for our attention.
We've just never had as many things competing for such tiny slices of the attention pie.
Yeah, it requires far less brainpower.
So I think it's important to clarify that no one is out.
And by no one, I mean no executive is out saying dumb this down.
No executive is out in the town saying, hey, by the way, make shittier television.
That's really going to help us when we increase prices again.
Right.
What they're saying, if this is being said to people, and I have personally never heard it in my reporting.
What they would be saying is, we understand that our audience has less attention than they might have 10 years ago, and our audience has more opportunities to put that attention on another video format, whether they're watching Reels or TikTok.
