The myth of attention spans

People don’t have short attention spans:

  • They finish 3 hour Joe Rogan episodes.
  • They binge 14 hour shows.
  • They have short consideration spans: They must be hooked quickly.

Point: Don’t fear making great, in-depth content. But, ensure your first minute is incredible.

(I realized this after noticing friends put up with bad TV shows. We’re really bad at abandoning shows. I went way too far into The Walking Dead.)
