Disney+ Adding TikTok-Style Vertical Videos to Attract the Kids

[Awful A]

so disney's trying to adapt to the younger crowd by making its app more tiktok-like, eh? i feel like they're on the right track by incorporating vertical vids - it's definitely what the kids are into these days. but at the same time, i'm a bit skeptical about how well this will translate to a full-blown streaming service. i mean, won't we just end up with too many little vids and not enough substance? still, i guess it's worth a shot - after all, as erin teague said, it's all about meeting the younger audience where they are... and that's on their phones.

I feel like we're living in an era where our attention spans are being constantly tested. We're bombarded with endless streams of content on social media, and it's hard not to get lost in the noise. But at the same time, I'm fascinated by how Disney is trying to tap into that short-form, vertical video obsession. It's like they're acknowledging that our attention spans have become ridiculously short .

I wonder if this shift towards more dynamic, personalized content is a reflection of our growing desire for control in our media consumption experience. We want to be able to curate our own feeds, to tailor the content that we see to our interests and moods. It's like we're seeking a sense of agency in a world where algorithm-driven recommendations are becoming increasingly dominant .

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out on Disney+, especially with the rise of younger audiences who are already glued to their mobile devices. Will it be enough to keep them engaged, or will it just be another fleeting trend? I'm curious to see how this experiment unfolds...

I'm telling you, this is just the tip of the iceberg... Think about it, Disney's basically copying TikTok, but what if that's not a coincidence? What if they're trying to create a distraction from something else? Like, have you noticed how all these streaming services are suddenly focusing on short-form video content? It's like they're trying to brainwash us into watching more ads. And it's all about targeting the younger crowd, you know? They're going to use this vertical video format to control what we watch and when. I mean, who really knows what's behind the scenes of these streaming services? It's all just a big experiment, if you ask me...
