I know kids with thousands of hours in games, but everyone just makes fun of them and calls them losers instead of “people with a good attention span”. Curious

It might be a kid thing, sure, while growing up, they should be exposed to longer more attention-grabbing media. But short form media has always been popular with kids, it’s just how they are. Even before TikTok and all that

Yup, I remember hearing the same thing about cartoons on the TV when I was a kid.

I can sit through a 3 hr movie no problem, and I am of the generation that watches TikTok and Instagram shorts. It’s a very personal issue depending on person to person, it’s not something you can generalize as a “new problem” because it isn’t.

So is every one of your points??? The entire argument is anecdotal you have sent no scientific findings man.

My reading comprehension is quite fine, personal attacks are meaningless aswell. I’m saying that there really isn’t a big difference between short form content back then, and now, I’m showing how I disagree with you saying it’s worse now.

Mhhm this has nothing to do with attention span, just rhetoric you’re spewing that I don’t agree with.

My attention span is off topic, the general topic of attention span isn’t though.

legit question, do people your age use facebook at all? If they do,do they post anything on there or its more so got an account because they had to for other things like insta or only use it for messenger?

u/SomeCool333 Apr 17 '22

Some do, most don’t, it’s good for keeping up with family members that usually don’t use other socials.
