Reply to comment by aspacelot in [OC] Goldfishes have longer attention spans than humans online by alison359

Right? Looking for something online now is is like “nope” … “nope” …. “nope” … “nope” … “nope, dammit why have search engines gotten so much worse?” … typing new search criteria … “nope” … “nope” …. “nope” ….”FINALLY!” … spending a couple minutes reading what I was actually looking for

yes, a golfish’s attention span is 9 seconds because it doesn’t know wtf it’s looking at

mine is 8 seconds because I’ve already assessed the material and decided I don’t want to look at it

Thank you, we just have gotten more efficient because search engines have become more commercial and flooded with spammy sites.
