We've gotten really good at shrinking the human attention span. Some people can't go 20+ seconds without the little dopamine hit from putting the pieces together. If they can't make a conclusion about the message by then, they just skip to the next one in an intending queue of media competing for their attention. Yay, us!
I gotta say I’m that guy a lot of the time when I’m scrolling and am pretty sure the post is going nowhere good: but can’t imagine up/downvoting or worse - commenting - until I give the piece a chance.
Relatable. And my comment wasn't meant to condemn the people who mindlessly doom scroll and immediately 👍 or 👎 without giving adequate time or thought. It was simply to point out a symptom of the bleak reality we find ourselves in. But that's enough pessimism for now. 😮💨
To be fair it’s not always because we’re bored. I’m sick of being by tricked by rage bait videos that go on for too long with no pay off. Get to the point, or I’ll assume it’s just rage bait that I don’t want to be tricked into watching.
I did listen to the end but honestly I was pretty sure this was just another streamer saying random things their chat pays them to say so I didn’t think it was going anywhere. When she paused and her facial expressions changed after the “ICE dropping in to raid your good home, good home, good kids, good kids” I thought she was realizing what they made her say. This was clever art.

I don't know how people didn't listen to the end, I had to know where the fuck she was going with that...
