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?!
