An actress recently shared her take on how the entertainment industry has shifted. She pointed out that film and TV aren't really about storytelling anymore—they've morphed into something else entirely. It's all about grabbing eyeballs and refusing to let go.
Social media's reshaped the game. Platforms trained everyone to scroll endlessly, chasing that next dopamine hit. Now productions are designed the same way. Hook viewers fast, keep them hooked longer. The art form? It's become secondary to the attention economy.
This isn't just Hollywood's problem. Every content creator, every platform, every project fighting for visibility faces the same battle. Whether it's a two-hour movie or a two-minute clip, the currency is attention. Capture it or lose.
