No. I’m saying that this is rage bait and been said about everything from rock music to pokemon.
Comment on 'TikTok brain' may be coming for your kid's attention span
ChocoboRocket@lemmy.world 1 year agoAre you suggesting that anything about the internet hasn’t reduced attention spans?
Especially as it’s becoming more accessible and common for younger people to get more exposure during key points in brain development.
It goes beyond simple accessibility and engagement, if young people are not participating in these social media’s it can become harder to connect with your peers - so you’re almost socially punished for not embracing and participating in brain rot (all social media, not just Tik Tok).

I didn’t click on any of the white papers linked inside the news article either, who knows what those Chinese university students put it there…

I have been trying to work on my attention span ever since quitting Reddit. There’s this great book I’m reading, it has everything in it that I love, I would have been pulled in if this was 20 years ago (yeah, I’m old). But I find I can only handle about 5 minutes or so before I feel that urge for “fresh” information. It sucks!
