    Gotta love how it is STILL a trope that social media, smartphones and technology are destroying our attention spans while simultaneously young people have mostly replaced getting their knowledge from vanishingly brief snippets of talking heads on massive news channels or radio stations with a constellation of media all the way from short tiktok videos to multi-hour youtube essays on gender or politics.

    Like the fuck.. some of the most successful youtube creators in terms of cultural impact regularly make 3 hour videos on shit and young people gobble it up like candy.

    It is just downright absurd to say social media is destroying our attention spans at this point.

    I know I have made this kind of post before but it is just becoming more and more obvious as content creators settle into niches of making multi-hour deep dives into complex topics and the trend shows no signs of stopping.
