Social Media is changing interviews, as nowadays they are becoming more entertainment, rather than having a long conversation about promoting the book/film/TV show. For example, when Bridgeton S4 came out, a lot of the press interviews were reading posts on social media, and playing games to give an insight to the actor, rather than the show they're trying to promote. Additionally, this could make people go "the actor sounds like a nice person, I'll go watch this show that they're in", which will then get more viewers etcetera.

Social media is leaning into the short attention span of the viewers by focusing on more entertaining subjects. Social media has changed the interviews to seek out the most information in short time due to it becoming easier for the viewer to be persuaded and distracted in this age. These interviews will especially feel the pressure as they also have a lot more contenders and competition than back before the dawn of social media.
