Our attention span may be diminishing due to short-form content, from two and a half minutes in 2004 to only 47 seconds in 2023.
This concerning information is likely linked to Reels and Shorts and all sorts of short videos or posts we come across daily.
The issue is that some of the websites pushing those dangerous posts to us still have interesting features, and blocking them completely would likely not be beneficial.
I have then developed a draft of a browser extension that could filter out all of this content from those platforms, like short posts on LinkedIn or Youtube videos shorter than X minutes etc..
You can try it out if you use Chrome, for now it only works on LinkedIn and Youtube but I am waiting for your recommendations on which site to expend it further.
This is obviously a work in progress, I want to make it open source and allow everyone to contribute and would love to get your feedback !
