The clip economy is not just about shorter videos. It is about a generation forming opinions, making arguments, and consuming news from content that has been stripped of everything that makes it accurate.

Mohit Rajhans calls it the clip economy: a media environment where a four-minute subway hot take and a 45-minute expert interview compete for the same attention and carry the same perceived weight. The problem is not that short content exists. The problem is that people can no longer distinguish between being informed and having watched a highlight.

The fix, according to Rajhans, is not regulating the algorithm. It is parents understanding better than the kids do. And that’s inconvenient.
