Netflix Adopts TikTok’s Vertical Feed in Bold Bid for Your Undivided Attention
Netflix, a company notoriously resistant to change unless it involves another price hike, has unveiled its latest strategy to dominate your eyeballs: a vertical-scrolling feed of short-form content. Sources close to the streaming titan (and by ‘sources,’ we mean the 18-year-old interning on the TikTok strategy team) confirm this revolutionary pivot. This move, undeniably inspired by the short-form video behemoths dominating your commute and toilet breaks, aims to capture that elusive attention span that has dwindled to approximately the length of a Vine. Forget the days of carefully curated recommendations and the illusion of choice; prepare for an endless, hypnotic scroll that promises to keep you perpetually entertained by what is essentially a glorified trailer park. Whether this bold new direction will lead to a glorious future of binge-watching snippets or simply a new way to accidentally spend three hours watching five-second clips remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: your thumb is about to get a workout.
