I have 0% attention span, whats happening?
Anyone else dealing with this? I used to watch youtube for a short vid here or a short one there.
I can't sit still for longer than a few minuets anymore and I blame youtube. Anyone else suffering from an inability to concentrate in general on anything, when that was never an issue before? I can't even play EQ without spamming through youtube videos in the background. What is this disease, is there a name for it yet? I have it. I used to be a stoic rock like the kid watching star wars. Now I'm like that kid trying to watch math videos. | ||

It's called being human. Our brains weren't designed for modern media.

But part of my ADD is by design, because I’m getting sick of content creators making long rambling 30+ minute videos in order to get themselves more favorable in the algorithm or into some better ad category or something. I’m taking about videos with a few bullet points of information that could have been succinctly covered in 5 minutes, but the creator has to go on the tangential diatribes or throw in a bunch of jokes or skits or anecdotes to try to push it many times longer So lately I’ll watch a vid for like 40 seconds to a minute, say to myself “ok I got the gist of this” and skip to another one. Or I’ll skip around the video quickly then skip to a different video But in other aspects of life I can dial in. Like working out I don’t start to really space out until 1.5 hours in. And cleaning which I’ve been doing a lot lately to girl-proof my house again, I can dial in on that AND listen to a 2 hour video or podcast while cleaning no problem But yes on the internet OR with video games I have bad ADD | |||

I don't think it's video-specific: I have the same "ADD", but I pretty much only read online articles.

A short attention span is useful weapon to have against the wiles of the podcasting hordes.
Mine's 10 minutes, as previously mentioned. If your video is any longer, I won't even try to watch it.
