you think attention is behaving inflationary?

since attention is treated like a currency in a monetized internet and the money is inflationary on it's own, i would wonder if the inflation from the money is infecting something that in it's own would not necessarily behave inflationary (as in getting more and more worthless as time progresses). human life is finite, maybe this forces attention to increase in value the older someone gets. i'd call that deflation.

Sorry this is too much for my brain. Maybe use simpler words so I can understand

human attention; the thing youtube says it sells to advertisers when you ask the company behind it how it got all the money…

is human attention worth more today or worth less today when you compare it to 5 years ago?

when you try to use money as a measure to answer this, you will get two numbers and i expect one to be higher then the other. but this might not be wise to do because just because something costs more money, it does not mean it is more valuable. that difference might be measuring nothing but unimportant predictable boring waves inside the ocean that is the monetary system and not represent any actual value whatsoever.

I wont write your school dissertation sorry pal

>I wont write your school

thinking there would be a school that would encourage children to question money reveals how little you understand about both school and money. schools teach children to depend on money and equate it with value.

There's probably at least one school like that out there

As for the school in general you're talking about plenty of them are going to have their students do a little critical analysis to get it out of their system before they embrace the neoliberal consensus

how'd you know, you did not even know what inflation was, meanwhile the boss of your boss of your boss of your boss of your boss of your boss is ruining your life with it. i guess you don't mind as long as there is beer and wrestling.

this seems like a growth that far outpaces any inflation but then again, monopolies don't have budget restriction like every fair/honorable/competitive company that is not owned by billionaires for a plethora of reasons different from the ones that are obvious to the clueless surface people involved, the bunker people have defacto infinite resources. to compare this with an actual company that is subject to markets and the economy with real competition owned by non-cannibals might me ridiculously short-sighted and unrealistic.

i ran your retardation through chatgpt for a bit of refinement

>If attention functions as a currency in the monetized internet, then it is being exchanged within a monetary system whose nominal unit—money—is inherently inflationary. But attention itself is not obviously inflationary in the same way. A person has a finite amount of time and, therefore, a finite lifetime supply of attention.

easier to understand

>This creates a tension: the internet continually produces more things competing for attention, while each individual’s total supply of attention remains strictly bounded. In that sense, attention may actually become deflationary at the level of an individual life.

i wholeheartedly disagree with this

as attention is more aggressively sought after, given people's finite capacity for it, more people will turn away/inward and stop paying attention to anything except what they've decided to psychologically silo as important.

>As time passes, the amount of attention a person has remaining decreases, potentially making each remaining unit more valuable.

again, completely disagree with this retarded premise concocted by the Gippity
Youth and beauty are instrumental in driving attention. Old people, especially single men after the age of 35, are economically irrelevant.

I would only argue a persons attention is deflationary the more valuable that person is economically, whether its wealth, connections, fame, status, ie something to offer you in increasingly exponential amounts.

>through chatgpt for a bit of refinement

so you are not inexperienced, lazy and unable to think, you are a refined scholar because you use the the solution finder for dummies that the tech-cannibals made that creates a file about you based on everything you admit to it you don't understand and sells that file to the highest bidder.

and i thought you were an idiot, imagine my surprise to learn about your academic ability!
