This is the point I feel most as well. I think this trend of burning attention is both destructive in ways and depth we don't completely understand yet - possibly making unrecoverable damage to our society on ridiculously large scale - and a blunt exploitation of the bias to consider attention as an infinite resource / not a real cost.

Personally I dislike also the "tracking to show me what I'm most likely to buy" but this itself (assuming such thing could exist in a vacuum, which seems unrealistic to me) has an inherently limited impact.
