“红果短剧降智”上热搜，有人日刷超10小时，医生回应：不是真的变笨了
Hongguo, a micro-drama platform, has sparked debate over whether its fast-paced dramas make viewers feel mentally sluggish and struggling to concentrate.
Some users have shared screen-time records showing that they spend more than 10 hours a day on the platform, saying they find it hard to stop watching.
Zou Ying, a psychology expert in Zhejiang province, said the frequent plot twists and cliffhangers can overstimulate the brain. Prolonged exposure may lead to mental fatigue and temporarily affect concentration and comprehension, making viewers feel as though they have become "less intelligent", she said.
Online reactions have been mixed. Some users warned that formulaic plots could erode attention spans and patience, while others argued that watching short dramas was a matter of personal choice and that some AI-generated productions were already well made.
