    The fact that like 2/3 of the comments in this thread didn’t read the article and therefore missed the point kind of proves the point.

      If only the article was higher quality, then those commenters would have clicked it and read it!

      I’m not sure how they would have determined it was higher quality without reading it, but that’s beside the point!

      Not really, because the author doesn’t have a point, just a nonsensical complaint aimed at the wrong people.

      So please don’t bother reading this slop and just give knee-jerk reactions because it is what this article deserves.

          Yes, blaming people for the problem your industry created is a non-starter at best and a blame game at worst.

          On a side note, I remember way back in the day when MTV still had music videos. I noticed a strange trend where they started changing camera angles constantly. I thought to myself WTF do they think people don’t have an attention span anymore.

          They created this problem not the consumer. It was all about increased engagement at the cost of genuine thought, art, and consideration.
