Yeah I don’t think the modern minute-by-minute generation who live on their phones are interested in dedicating an entire hour or two per show. Even Youtube with its 10-min videos seem long now. Netflix might need to create some ‘microshows’ to keep the younger generation’s attention.

One of youtube’s greatest value adds for me is the competition to convey a point quickly.

For the past 10 years I’ve found advanced topics explained extremely well in 3 minutes for free, much better than a university professor ever could. The incentive models are not competitive fast enough in Academia

Imagine if Netflix had this kind of content, possible subsidized for high quality

Odd then that the movies aimed at this generation are some of the longest in history. Something about your comment doesn't add up.

The next Star Wars movie will be published as a sequence of five second GIFs on Twitter.
