one of the most underrated shifts happening now is that ai is separating consumption from attention. i.e. historically in order to extract any real value from anything you consume, you had to give attention to that content directly (often painstakingly). this meant you had to sit there sifting through ads, sponsor messages, hidden promotions, filler content, & often crazy amounts of repetition too. agents break this relationship entirely. they *extract* value without requiring attention from *you*. that has a potentially devastating impact for any business that monetizes based on time spent rather than value delivered. it's like adblock on steroids for everything.
