Furthermore , the fear of losing something interesting or amusing can stimulate more sharing and engagement and instill a sense of urgency that motivates action . Also , in the era of social media , a brief , catchy video quickly becomes popular and reaches a far wider audience as it is amazingly easy to share .
In conclusion , short-form videos have become an integral part of modern life , providing a quick and easy source of entertainment and information . However , it is essential to recognize their limitations and use them responsibly to avoid addiction and negative effects on attention spans .
Creating a one-minute video requires less effort than an hour-long video : less editing , writing , color correction , and exporting . The videos also perform well on mobile devices due to their intent and use . They are ideal for short-term scrolling , as people often watch short content at intervals .
However , where there are advantages to short-form videos , there also exist disadvantages . I believe that those videos are inappropriate for complicated topics that require enough time to explain , and they cannot be used for educational content , offering deep perceptions and explanations .
Also , they can reduce attention spans due to the constant availability of information and entertainment , making it easy to develop an addiction to rapid gratification .
