Same, except with turkish TV WHICH IS WORSE. When I was trying to watch Şaban or some other movie for every 10-20 minutes there were roughly 1h 30m- 2h ads. AND THEY WERENT EVEN DIFFERENT, JUST THE SAME 3 ADS LOOPED
thanks for talking about music artists. this decrease in attention span has really been frustrating for musicians like me, because nowadays you can’t even have an intro in your song: people will just skip to the next one if they don’t like the first few seconds. it’s taken away a lot of artistic expression and contributes to making music sound “all the same”
I know im super late but i agree and have experienced this with my friends. I have shown quite a few high quality songs to them but they simply refused to listen past the first few seconds because it didnt immediately start off with a high octane part.
The way I keep myself from a short attention span is forcing myself to watch human anatomy videos that are usually 30 mins or longer. The point is that in the middle of the video it gets very very very boring but I force myself to learn different parts of my body, how and why the human anatomy operates the way it does.
I watch documentaries for fun Don’t ask why they were all ww2 documentaries Also how do I watch downfall without needing to be the same age Hitler would be today. Asking for a “friend”…
I watch object show episodes. 40min just for one episode? Yes please. I mean documentaries are a better solution than what I do but honestly it’s really good if ur getting started.
Fun Fact: The attention span for moden society is around 10 seconds. The attention span for modern society when tommynfg uploads is up to 50 minutes, due to watching the full video.
The irony is, the way in which Tommy edits his videos, is in the style of retention editing. Designed to keep people watching, with a fast paced edit, people's attention spans aren't lapsed.
11:04 All jokes aside this an actual mental health strategy. It's also called "Opposite Action" and has helped me do things to make me feel better when I'm not feeling well, or motivate me to do something when I'm lazy. Thanks for making this video Mr.NFG Edit: Thanks for the likes y'all have a good day (Also I edited the time stamp)
I have been diagnosed with ADD (basically ADHD) and I still feel like I have a better attention-span than most of my generation. Also, I still remember when Markiplier during a stream asked the viewers if they watched the majority of videos on youtube at 2x speed and (if I rememmber correctly) *around half said they did* .
The only thing I listen to on 1.25 speed is Security Now podcast, but only because the hosts' speech on 1.0 sounds like it was slowed down and sounds absolutely normal on 1.25.
I can imagine all the 15 year old low-attention span TikTok girls just completely denying these facts that are just too good to be true, thank you TommyNFG, you just really make this world a better place, even if it is just slightly
This man Tommy is one of the most funniest and skilled youtubers bro. This man never misses on a video he posts. Keep up the good work and entertainment.
@@JustMeOreo Yeah u right, but still a lot of people don't know about him. But I do admit he has gained a lot of subs and attention over the past year.

i have adhd and i hate short form videos with my very soul, whenever i watch a short video i get so unsatisfied and search it up everywhere to find a longer video of it
My attention span has become better nowadays, back then I was a RUclips addict, all day, all night. Couldn't focus on what I want or need. I usually just unwind, play minecraft, maybe shooter games, then long ass things that I want to do (art, music, video making). Sometimes I just lie down even to calm down.
i started a new job at a factory not too long ago where i pretty much had to watch a water jet and make sure it wouldn’t hit something. the first time i messed up i set my brain to simply watch the damn machine. i watched that shit for an hour without flinching and it was honestly one of the hardest things i’ve done. i’m so ashamed i myself am part of this problem💀
Kind of as a joke and kind of not a joke. It is so disappointing to walk past the detention hall after I’m done with my clubs to see how many kids say”Is this what life without phones and TikTok is?” And that when I thank myself for never downloading that god awful app
i downloaded it once but i never really used it because the content was literal garbage on there. when I heard that it scans your photos was the time that I deleted the app because I didn't even use it
It's kinda unbelievable to think the attention span is that low. I can find myself staring at the same thing for 5 mins sometimes and really love watching 1hr + long videos
Not even gonna cap, I waited until I was washing dishes to watch this video cause I knew I wouldn’t be able to switch to another easily 😭 the points made in this video is so correct
Ofc that happens for everyone because when you're tired you just can't focus you just wanna rest, but when you cant focus in something for more than 10 seconds ur entire life tired or not that's a short attention span
I have adhd and still have the best attention span in most of my classes I EVEN GO TO SLEEP IN CLASS and I’m still one of the 3 kids with an A in the class.
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT THIS!! nobody in my friend group OR social media talked about this and i was the one realizing, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY
It’s not like we don’t have a good attention span anymore. It’s that we draw our attention to different things, namely the ones that are bad for you. You could join a class and get distracted every day 10 seconds, but it’s much harder for us to lose our focus when watching a video on RUclips. We’re not stupid by nature, the addictive things people throw at us keep us from drawing our attention to the more important things.
reminds me of a recent chat i had with a friend about how people (and myself) get pissed off at five second ads on youtube when they probably just watched thirty minutes of undisturbed content... hell, some even get premium apps for that.. i'm not saying don't go premium, i'm just saying if you're doing it specifically to get rid of ads you have no hope
I managed to save my attention span's arse by trying to stay off youtube shorts. Basically how it works is when i realize im on youtube shorts, or watch a short form video, i instantly check to see how many videos i scrolled through and then go back to long form. It actually got to amazing results pretty fast, i got as little as 3 shorts, the moment i started to completely stop being on youtube shorts
It’s crazy to think just how much my attention span has been hit by tik tok. Now I don’t even finish half the RUclips videos I watch and I change apps every 5 min

The most annoying shit ever is having a conversation with someone, and right as you complete your sentence, they just say, "Huh?" After looking at their phone for a split second.
You know what utility low attention span is actually _good_ for? War. Hyperactive soldiers with fast reflexes, incredible hand-eye coordination, but low intelligence. Grunts essentially. Keep in mind, these soldiers work best as basic foot soldiers, not leaders. To win a war, you need generals and commanders with long attention spans and higher cognizance for long-term strategic planning. Which the rich upper class can afford. They have better healthcare, better education, etc. They've set themselves up as the generals and commanders of a future war, sitting safely away from the front lines and instead commanding us, their peons. Maybe they're manufacturing human cannon-fodder for WWIII, and we (the lower and middle class citizens who were failed by our education system, social media, and dopamine addiction) are their pawns. (This is my conspiracy theory, please be skeptical about all of my claims)
i usually have really short attention span, but if it has to do with my special interests i can do that until the sun goes down and i forget to eat or drink and that kind of stuff. or sometimes i’ll just hyperfixate of something for 2 days and and literally do it all day. but sometimes if i’m trying to have a conversation my brain just stops listening and completely zones out. i try to keep listening but the next thing i know they are done with their story. then people think i’m being rude when i tell them i wasn’t listening.
The best way to stop watching shorts is to watch a full length RUclips video, you’ll finally have finished something and it helps me at least with getting off my phone
So to help with attention spans what you need to do is randomly do somthing that you needed to do laundry chopping wood or somthing like that cause it helps you to focus on somthing you don’t fully want to do to make it more normal

The thing about short-form content is that I get burned out. Don't get me wrong I'm pretending to be non-susceptible to falling into short-form content hell, because I am susceptible, it's happened. But I always feel tired and bored afterwards, because there's no substance there. So I spend my free time listening to music, playng games, watching movies and reading fiction, because I feel better both during and after I do that. Also rollerblading and soaping are both fun things for me to get fresh air.
4:00 Already happen to me one being thinking and talking about some random product I wanted to buy and in the next hours I got a lot of ads about it, so me and my mom made a test, we talked about some product or travel I can't remember, using a lot of key words (we looked like NPCs talking), and some hours later we got ads about that And the funny thing is that probably few people will read this because our attention span is fcked up

TommyNFG I know Im literally 3 months late, but each and every one of your content increases my attentions span. Im not joking, I actually read a book without looking away every 1 second :D Also I hear some ringing sounds in my ear what the hell-
I am so freaking glad that my parents cared about the things I did and the content I watched I can't say the same for my little brothers though... I had to watch their brains melt slowly day after day as years passed into spoiled assholes God I hate Tik Tok..
This video was pretty helpful. Because I am a fanfiction writer, distractions are more challenging than ever. I haven't completed a story since last year. I love to take breaks and do other stuff. And then afterwards, I research the the thing and resume back writing.
@@zer0par1dox47 bro what.. it makes sense though. if they excluded "fanfiction" and just left "writer" I'd at least wonder what kind of writer they are, bc a writer is a genre, and a fanfiction writer is a subgenre. idk why you had to be like that. does adding fanfiction before writer really needs a reaction out of you?
@@zer0par1dox47 What is wrong with writing stories? They are fun to do, especially if I don't like what happened in a cartoon show and then rewrite it.
In order to develop a skill, one would need to find a way to actually want to do it in the first place. So even though fanfic writing is objectively kinda gay it's good that it's making people get better att writing. P.S among us red X blue gay sex encounter fan fic is very good for your brain so that's another good thing
I’m gonna admit, I used to be addicted to RUclips shorts, just scrolling for hours everyday. I wasn’t even enjoying myself, luckily I just managed to stop not sure how but I just did. I’m working on using normal RUclips less now, because it’s so bad that I’m watching videos on the toilet, a lot of people do. Honestly watching videos while shitting is just sad
I'm learning English with your videos. I'm from Brazil n I started to study English bcs I wanna see memes in your language 😹 your videos are adorable 😍 I love you 🇧🇷😸
Im actually so fed up with YT rn. I was like, Oh yeah there is a trending tab, let me see something fun. LEGIT THE ONLY THINGS I SEE ARE YT SHORTS. Legit deleted tiktok, Insta because of the short format videos, but here comes RUclips. I finally found a way to somewhat disable the shorts. But I really miss old RUclips.
I was diagnosed to have adhd disorder, but because I read books and don't use phone tili 12, I somehow have better attention span than my high-school classmates, this world is crazy sometimes.
im watching 4 hour object shows and its fun to not constantly switch over so many things, just focus on a single topic for a while, like for hours. When my boy False Swipe Gaming makes a video I go be watching that for HOURS even if it's that. LS Mark too occasionally. I just love Essay style content and informative content and your content (despite being kinda copied and pasted a lot lets not lie) is constantly the BEST out of the competition. I love 10 minute videos, 4 hour videos (if I am actually interested in it and not bored in 3 minutes due to horrible quality) overall I am just a huge sucker of certain types of long content yet I still don't ever have an interest for Movies or TV shows unless my mom forces me to it. It's just too much effort to go get a disc when I can type the name of what I want and watch it. ATM I don't have headphones which means in a day or 2 I will be watching this video. Still, I love the jokes and information you tell me and its not like channels where they show you the facts in an intimidating way like how they are too friendly or just too negative. You bring the facts and comedy for me is what I love inorder to learn stuff. Have a good year!
Don’t worry, there are still some out there that are good. as a gen z myself, I never installed tik tok I never got into that loop and I would say my attention span is pretty good. I’m usually able to watch 20 minute videos without being distracted. so just remember, some people still have good attention spans

Look up the classic comedic bit of “Who’s on first?”. If you can still appreciate humor like that and listen through the whole thing, you aren’t too far gone.
Goldfish according to scientists can remember stuff up to 5 months. Still mind blowing in comparison to today's humans

The most annoying shit ever is having a conversation with someone, and right as you complete your sentence, they just say, "Huh?" After looking at their phone for a split second.
imagine a tiktok kid trying to watch a full iceberg video 💀
You know what utility low attention span is actually _good_ for?
War. Hyperactive soldiers with fast reflexes, incredible hand-eye coordination, but low intelligence. Grunts essentially.
Keep in mind, these soldiers work best as basic foot soldiers, not leaders. To win a war, you need generals and commanders with long attention spans and higher cognizance for long-term strategic planning. Which the rich upper class can afford. They have better healthcare, better education, etc. They've set themselves up as the generals and commanders of a future war, sitting safely away from the front lines and instead commanding us, their peons.
Maybe they're manufacturing human cannon-fodder for WWIII, and we (the lower and middle class citizens who were failed by our education system, social media, and dopamine addiction) are their pawns.
(This is my conspiracy theory, please be skeptical about all of my claims)
You’re good most people aren’t going to be *reading* all of your claims
3:19 every tiktok ever
i usually have really short attention span, but if it has to do with my special interests i can do that until the sun goes down and i forget to eat or drink and that kind of stuff. or sometimes i’ll just hyperfixate of something for 2 days and and literally do it all day. but sometimes if i’m trying to have a conversation my brain just stops listening and completely zones out. i try to keep listening but the next thing i know they are done with their story. then people think i’m being rude when i tell them i wasn’t listening.
Our attention span bout to be an imaginary number
Thank you for posting this video. I will now delete every form of social media off my phone.
That's why I deleted TikTok
When I bought my phone I didn't even have TikTok pre-instaled. And I never instaled it.
7:18 OHHH GOODD NNNOOOOOOO
The best way to stop watching shorts is to watch a full length RUclips video, you’ll finally have finished something and it helps me at least with getting off my phone

So to help with attention spans what you need to do is randomly do somthing that you needed to do laundry chopping wood or somthing like that cause it helps you to focus on somthing you don’t fully want to do to make it more normal

The thing about short-form content is that I get burned out.
Don't get me wrong I'm pretending to be non-susceptible to falling into short-form content hell, because I am susceptible, it's happened.
But I always feel tired and bored afterwards, because there's no substance there.
So I spend my free time listening to music, playng games, watching movies and reading fiction, because I feel better both during and after I do that.
Also rollerblading and soaping are both fun things for me to get fresh air.
I just wanted to say about the last part, I keep seeing a lot of RUclipsrs say that their View duration is half of what their video length is.
Always a nice time when Tommy uploads

4:00 Already happen to me one being thinking and talking about some random product I wanted to buy and in the next hours I got a lot of ads about it, so me and my mom made a test, we talked about some product or travel I can't remember, using a lot of key words (we looked like NPCs talking), and some hours later we got ads about that
And the funny thing is that probably few people will read this because our attention span is fcked up

Bro I think about it and I get an ad about it
@@F-22. Frr
I have diagnosed by a doctor adhd and I have never clicked off of one of his videos
I messed up the wording
"skip to highlight" takes you to the end of the video and I think that's beautiful
Thank god I don’t use traditional social media
TommyNFG I know Im literally 3 months late, but each and every one of your content increases my attentions span. Im not joking, I actually read a book without looking away every 1 second :D
Also I hear some ringing sounds in my ear what the hell-
I think I'll try that too. I want to exit this shit too.
@@BDoni261 100% Gigachad move my dude
did you actually try@@BDoni261
3:33 IS THAT A LIMBO REFERENCE? GEOMETRY DASH REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?111!!!!?!?!11
TIktok users when they see a video that's over 10:00: EWWW TOO LONG🤢🤢🤮🤮
More like over 10 seconds
Dude really telling us to delete tiktok to help us while also promoting his tiktok and telling us to follow him there. Absolute hypocrite 💀
the goldfish thing is a myth and there is no reliable method to measure attention span, but yea we just give in to distraction too easily nowdays
I am so freaking glad that my parents cared about the things I did and the content I watched I can't say the same for my little brothers though... I had to watch their brains melt slowly day after day as years passed into spoiled assholes
God I hate Tik Tok..

This video was pretty helpful. Because I am a fanfiction writer, distractions are more challenging than ever. I haven't completed a story since last year.
I love to take breaks and do other stuff. And then afterwards, I research the the thing and resume back writing.
Bro just HAD to add that they are a fanfic writer😂
@@zer0par1dox47 bro what.. it makes sense though. if they excluded "fanfiction" and just left "writer" I'd at least wonder what kind of writer they are, bc a writer is a genre, and a fanfiction writer is a subgenre. idk why you had to be like that. does adding fanfiction before writer really needs a reaction out of you?
@@zer0par1dox47 What is wrong with writing stories? They are fun to do, especially if I don't like what happened in a cartoon show and then rewrite it.
In order to develop a skill, one would need to find a way to actually want to do it in the first place. So even though fanfic writing is objectively kinda gay it's good that it's making people get better att writing.
P.S among us red X blue gay sex encounter fan fic is very good for your brain so that's another good thing
@@ant2631 how about neko cat boy biden x trump fanfics?
That outro gotta be the cleanest one on RUclips.
I really appreciate the fact that you admit your intellectual. I feel like not all the other RUclipsrs would and it's good to take pride.
I’m gonna admit, I used to be addicted to RUclips shorts, just scrolling for hours everyday. I wasn’t even enjoying myself, luckily I just managed to stop not sure how but I just did. I’m working on using normal RUclips less now, because it’s so bad that I’m watching videos on the toilet, a lot of people do. Honestly watching videos while shitting is just sad
I'm learning English with your videos. I'm from Brazil n I started to study English bcs I wanna see memes in your language 😹 your videos are adorable 😍
I love you 🇧🇷😸

Im actually so fed up with YT rn. I was like, Oh yeah there is a trending tab, let me see something fun. LEGIT THE ONLY THINGS I SEE ARE YT SHORTS. Legit deleted tiktok, Insta because of the short format videos, but here comes RUclips. I finally found a way to somewhat disable the shorts. But I really miss old RUclips.
I was diagnosed to have adhd disorder, but because I read books and don't use phone tili 12, I somehow have better attention span than my high-school classmates, this world is crazy sometimes.
I actually have adhd (severe) and I swear I can pay attention for at least 5 seconds more than an average TikTok kid
I preserve my attention span by playing JRPG's and reading really long light novel series.

mf’s who just watch movies definitely got attention span of at least 1-2 hours
im watching 4 hour object shows and its fun to not constantly switch over so many things, just focus on a single topic for a while, like for hours. When my boy False Swipe Gaming makes a video I go be watching that for HOURS even if it's that. LS Mark too occasionally. I just love Essay style content and informative content and your content (despite being kinda copied and pasted a lot lets not lie) is constantly the BEST out of the competition. I love 10 minute videos, 4 hour videos (if I am actually interested in it and not bored in 3 minutes due to horrible quality) overall I am just a huge sucker of certain types of long content yet I still don't ever have an interest for Movies or TV shows unless my mom forces me to it. It's just too much effort to go get a disc when I can type the name of what I want and watch it. ATM I don't have headphones which means in a day or 2 I will be watching this video. Still, I love the jokes and information you tell me and its not like channels where they show you the facts in an intimidating way like how they are too friendly or just too negative. You bring the facts and comedy for me is what I love inorder to learn stuff. Have a good year!
Me clicking off the video at 0:56 cause my attention span is too low:
come back
11:23 it most definitely is the first one.
I usually remind myself of the low attention span and get off shorts or TikTok so I don’t get trapped
how do they keep coming
Don’t worry, there are still some out there that are good. as a gen z myself, I never installed tik tok I never got into that loop and I would say my attention span is pretty good. I’m usually able to watch 20 minute videos without being distracted. so just remember, some people still have good attention spans
A kind reminder, using punctuation helps people understand the comment better :)
@@fathimathnabeela6247 thank you for the feedback I edited my comment to be easier to understand
@@assaaddandashi7396 yeah, it easier to read now
Funny thing is this video has adhd editing
@@Bert-om3no I don’t mean this video specifically but overall I can watch stuff without being easily distracted
