What paternalistic bullshit. Mass media decry the attention economy as if they did not invent it. Their digital Calvinism is insulting. Stare at your own damned navel for 10 minutes, #BrokenTimes.

I will look at a tree, outdoors, for 10 minutes or more, or hang out watching birds. But looking at a photograph which someone else picked, as a defining metric of attention? That’s not anything. There are photos that grab attention, but what makes the #brokentimes an arbiter?
