[ SLANG ][ CLIP_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
The full informal market of value that forms around short clips cut from longer content, distinct from clip distribution by describing the whole valuation/trading system rather than just the act of spreading one clip.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The whole clip economy shifted once short clips started outperforming full uploads in watch time."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'clip-distribution'/'clip-cascade' up a level into a full described economic system, the same pattern used for 'drop-economy' elsewhere in the dictionary.
