As recently as twenty years ago, the lack of on-demand fast-paced entertainment meant that TV screens really dominated the audience's attention when they were on. People didn't have smartphones to look at during commercial breaks, and the relatively slow internet speed meant that running back and forth between the computer room and the TV wasn't very practical. However, once typical home internet speeds were fast enough to support streaming video, entertainment options began to expand beyond movie theaters and TVs in VOD across multiple devices, and video entertainment began to expand beyond the 30- and 60-minute program. Now, the length of video entertainment is determined less by the size of TV slots than by how long video creators feel they need to deliver what they want and still entertain their viewers.
