    People generally watch YouTube videos more casually, including with more pausing and often while doing something else. It takes less energy to watch a long YouTube video than a movie, whereas with short videos you can’t just sit back and relax and let it play, you have to bring up something new almost immediately if you wanna keep watching stuff so your attention has to be more focused.
