   Good god have attention spans gone that bad? In Tom Scott's latest newsletter he tells you to give a video 20 seconds to get to the good bit.

     @KaraLG84 Tom who? I got bored and didn't read past that bit.

     Sorry, someone had to. But in short: yep, I'm pretty sure they have indeed gotten that bad. Also, Tom Scott is great.

     @alexhall I regularly check out of YouTube videos before the 30-second mark. My attention span is fine, many presenters are just boring and bad at pacing. For content that's legitimately well delivered, I'll happily pay attention for hours. @KaraLG84
