Dear readers of #mastodon!

Is anyone familiar with academic literature on communicative efficiency in short-form videos like #tiktok? I'm thinking of ways in which #influencers may adjust their speech to fit into bite-sized clips? Is there any?

If not specifically on language, then maybe something in #psychology on how things like rapid speech might (negatively) affect our comprehension, memory, etc. Again, ideally in short-form videos.

Thank you so much!

Online outrage over the Nintendo Switch 2’s price, terms and features was loud but meaningless, as record-breaking sales showed once again that internet backlash rarely reflects real consumer behavior. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/25/japan/nintendos-switch-2-secret/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #nintendo #switch2 #tiktok #youtube #influencers #apple #internet
