RE: Proliferation of Short-Form Content Is the Result of Massive Attention Shifts in Society

That exhausts me much more than reading a post

I think this is in complete opposite to Gen Z. A lot of them tend to have ADHD, which is why they prefer short form content, and why Tiktok is very popular with them. It is like they turn off their brain to continuously watch different videos every few seconds. And because of their ADHD, they find it difficult to focus on long posts. I've read studies that this could be due to how they grew up videos and screens. So I'm dreading the Gen Alpha that grew up with Cocomelon and 30 second videos.

Yes, I know. ADHD is already something very common. I grew up with games, TV, and screens too. Not as much as them, but still quite enough time spent in front of them. It matters what you watch on those screens too, I suppose. 30-sec videos are quite detrimental, I believe.
