Attention spans have shrunk and consumers are looking for faster ways, more direct ways, to feed their content addiction. Whether it’s dogs, cats, fails or knockouts, consumers want more, more, more. Chances are you’ve seen Speed Society videos creep inside your Facebook feed in the past year. The growth has been tremendous.
