> Dollars are spent on attention. You don't make it in this world without securing some attention.

I love your word choice here. "Securing" almost perfectly defines it, because you are acting with hostility against the person whose attention you are seeking to capture.

Exactly. Like most "growth hackers," they assume that our attention is their resource to consume, and we should all be grateful for the privilege of making them rich.

No thanks. I reject this as the abusive practice and mentality that it is.
