I have a weird feeling that this is the reason why all social media turns negative sooner or later. Will it happen to BlueSky? Did it already happen?

Even when I do, it's often in my headphones while I'm doing something (or sleeping). Our attention spans are fried. I'm currently supposed to be in 15m book reading session. My timer is paused on 8:58 while I'm distracted with bsky and screen is dimming, meaning I'm off for at least 10m already

Here's another excellent example.
Someone on Reddit searched for (the non-existent) John Wick 5, and Google spared no expense to lie to them.

... but it took engineers and managers and other staff months or years to get it _right_). Maybe the future of the Internet is similar. Lots of mass-produced barely-digestible content (like NetFlix's "distracted watching" content), some artisans still producing handcrafted content.

"mass-produced content" (from that video) that certainly strikes a bell. It's like mass-produced food or mass-produced goods. It's just not good enough. When possible, you'd go to artisans, to restaurants, to high-end stuff (which still could use mass-production machines, ...

I remember reading that you learn meditation almost the same way. You get distracted constantly, you don't get angry, you just return to meditation. Maybe that's also the way we get our focus back.
