LOS ANGELESIn a groundbreaking finding that reveals a major shift in media consumption habits, a new study published Wednesday found that young people now watch more YouTube content than zoetropes of galloping horses. It may be hard for older generations to understand, but todays young consumers are much more interested in watching videos on their phones than peering into a spinning cylinder, said study co-author Jeremy Hernandez, who shared that his marketing firm had found that the average member of Generation Z spent less than two hours a week sitting in front of one of the motion illusion machines. These days, practically the only population watching zoetropes are baby boomers. And when you look at the numbers for phenakistoscopes, it only gets bleaker. If the pre-cinema animation device industry wants to survive, theyre going to have to adapt. At press time, Charli DAmelio had reportedly signed a deal to star in three zoetropes in which she will appear to juggle bowling pins.The post Study Finds Young People Now Watch More YouTube Content Than Zoetropes Of Galloping Horses appeared first on The Onion.
