While not the same "streamer" as I was thinking (i.e. Twitch), the point I was going to make still stands. I'm not sure streamers have been good for anything. They are like a disease.
Everything is being dumbed down for attention span, it's insane.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy unfortunately, I know for a fact that if I post videos up of gameplay etc. they're going to do better in terms of attracting people if they're a minute long if that than something that's that's 15 minutes long etc. because they'll look at the duration first and go "Nope". It's just a recorded fact now that's how the internet and most content works, also will be partly why television is dying so hard. The younger generations especially aren't going to sit through 10 minutes of ads to get through a 30 minute episode.
Now, when it comes to retention? That's way more debatable, because you do see that there are channels which have 15+ duration on their videos and they're doing better and better over the long term because they have interesting content. You even see as well people commenting they sometimes rewatch videos and come back.
It varies enormously, I think because of how new social media and this type of content creation is relatively creators are still kind of finding their feet on what works, I know I am. I never would have thought though you could have the potential to make money just on incredibly short videos of all things.
The fault as always lies with content creators who stretch the most minor commentary into ages of ponderous useless bullshit.
The Quartering is king of this. The entire content of most videos being at most 3 sentences, but they have to stretch to that 10 minutes.
It means that i develop a strategy to save myself time, and the heuristic i end up with is that the first third and last third of every video is pointless bullshit. I can waste 15 seconds each side to get 30 seconds of content. I'm not wasting 10 minutes each side to get 10 minutes of content. Fuck off.
The well is poisoned. Too bad.
Not to mention half of "content creators" are charisma-less sacks of shit with whiny nasally voices that make me what to spew.
The people who are actually compelling earn their hour of content which I will listen to cover to cover, everybody else is just a dumbass with a microphone.

How so? I'd never fault the ones that make an offer. The fault lies with the people taking that offer. Obviously there's enough idiots that watch that shit. Quartering et al. would be idiots if they changed their ways.

Because they ruined the ability of viewers to trust them? Lol
My comment isn't hard to understand.
