Also, how sad is it apparently 24 minutes is too long for some people?!
That's just depressing. As someone who's definitely done my fair share of tech, and can feel that my attention span isn't what it was...I can still handle 24 minutes, much longer in fact. I don't want anime to be even shorter. Absolutely retarded.
They need to stop doing porn and TikTok, holy shit. And stop therapy. And stop medication. And stop seed oils and other crap food. And stop "public" (state) education.
And they need fathers, and to go to the gym.
There, I solved everything. And, yes, I am of course kidding, and know it's sadly not that easy. What I laid out are good steps, though.
I’d argue it’s more of a scapegoat rather than an actual problem. There are retarded people with piss-poor attention spans, but the problem is that the content sucks rather than a wide-spread epidemic.
The majority of the stuff I watch on YouTube is in excess of 30 minutes, my preferred run time is about 1 hour per video. I always found episode length in anime far too short and full of far too much padding to fill out the 20 odd minutes it already comprises. At least modern anime anyway. Shit made back in the 90s was actually good and didn't feel like mostly stalling tactics (only half stalling tactics lol).
Its me, I'm the guy who can't watch full episodes anymore because its too long.
But in my defense, its because subs require actual full attention (my Japanese from pure hearing isn't what it used to be) and I prefer my watching be background to other more productive tasks (or shitposting here). And I'm far, far from a zoomer.
My wife is the opposite and will come home from work and shotgun an entire season in one glorious sitting and then complain about it being over.

Dang, sorry to hear that.
Part of it sounds like just mindset, at least; I don't put on anime/movies/whatever in the background. They always get my at least almost full attention. If I'm going to watch entertainment, I want to be taking it all in.
It is. Like, I can watch a full episode if I put my mind to it without issue. But the entire time I'll be thinking "man I wish I was doing something with my hands right now" and get distracted.
Its why almost all the media I consume is comedy, because it manages to keep my attention fully if its actually funny. So Shimoneta some years back was easy to consume because it was nonstop laughter.
But rather than complain about the industry not catering to me, I just consume absurd sums of manga on my phone due to having large amounts of downtime during my days.

I listened to an hour and a half of Norm Macdonald yesterday.
It was one of his better jokes.

But have you considered being an insufferable twat and ruining it for everyone else, instead of being a reasonable person and finding what works for you and what you actually enjoy?!

The modern generation is basically retarded and incapable of long attention spans, as a general rule. They're also super emotionally fragile.
I'd say at least 60% of the population is geared this way at this point.

Getting rid of social media alone would be huge. Touching grass (unironically) is extremely good for our health.
It really does boil down to too much time on computers and the Internet. The human mind and body aren't suited for them still.

24 minutes is about the amount of time I have to eat a lunch. I've been lucky if I could watch a 45 minute show recently.
