If people’s #attentionspan is so sort nowadays, how do they manage to listen to so many #podcasts, which seem, on average, to be about 246 minutes long?

I've noticed that whenever I post anything over 100 words, up to half a dozen followers go away (though if boosts occur, then departures and arrivals mostly cancel out). My choice of topic doesn't even make a difference.

Still, I try to write at least 100 words per post semi-regularly, to help me avoid becoming a lazy or superficial communicator. Accordingly, I now declare that I'm developing a new post that'll greatly exceed 100 words.

If that distresses—up to half a dozen of—you, then feel free to leave at this time.

Just want to warn you.

Sigh.
Sometimes I have the attention span of #GenAlpha (although beeing #GenX).
Actually, I wanted to answer an email, but then another email popped up with a headphones test and I almost clicked it... but I have to write this email first! Then I though "this would be a nice toot" and had to look up a word and the myth of the #AttentionSpan of goldfishes and then I found me reading about whistling frogs with #StarTrek captains names on Madagaskar...
And the email still needs to be written...
