I don't like the idea of attention span in the context of media consumption. It presupposes that the producer has some kind of right to everyone else's attention just because they made something. If you're not going to help filter yourself out from people who won't be interested in you, it will be and should be an automatic no.

You not liking it doesn't make it any less of a fact...

[SerLava]

It's not really a fact though- it's a framework for understanding engagement, and it's a trash framework.

It's used my the laziest shills to place blame for their shit content on some notion of public stupidity.

[marvy]

so you're saying you approve of the longer titles?

[SerLava]

Generally yes, I prefer titles that are descriptive rather than "this is a clever title and you'll find out why later"

[marvy]

makes sense
