Among younger generations, binge-watching is very frequently done by having the video going in one window, while doing something else like Discord in another window. Or having the video playing on a laptop while browsing TikTok on one’s phone. It is no counterevidence for declining attention spans. |

Because sure, if you've got Property Brothers on in the background while you do other stuff, that makes sense. You can go in and out.
But if you're watching Squid Game, or The Last of Us, or Yellowjackets, or even Wednesday -- you'd better be paying attention to every frame. Modern dramatic TV demands your full attention in a way that The Golden Girls didn't.
The idea that younger generations are binge-watching Yellowjackets while browsing TikTok doesn't make any sense.
