Short-form video consumption trends in Vietnam

Overview

Short-form video consumption in Vietnam has seen a significant rise, with users spending an average of 120 million hours daily on TikTok and a 100% increase in YouTube Shorts production by local creators. This trend has raised concerns regarding addiction, decreased attention spans, and psychological impacts across various demographics. Adults report difficulties with productivity and sleep, while children show signs of irritability and social withdrawal.

The situation has evolved with the emergence of AI-generated short films, which utilize high-speed pacing and dramatic conflicts to create highly addictive experiences. Psychiatrists have noted that these films can lead to sedentary behavior and psychological manipulation among the elderly. Additionally, experts warn that the unrealistic scenarios portrayed in this content may foster distorted values and social withdrawal among younger audiences.
