There are things of value to be learned even in media that doesn't immediately grab and hold your attention. Sometimes learning things requires focus. In fact, probably most things worth learning don't jump out and grab you, but require some effort to keep your attention on them.

If you always optimize your attention towards whatever is most immediately compelling, you'll wake up one day and find out you don't really know anything.
