Well we've gone from 2 minute adds on TV back in the 50s and 60s, to 1 minute adds in the 70s and 80s to 30 seconds in the 90s to now as low as 5 to 10 seconds on TV and social media now.
Add to that garbage like Mortan Downy whom paved the way for Jerry Springer, crap like "The Real World", Farts News, and getting rid of the fairness doctrine. Mix in the destruction of anti monopoly concepts over that same period, you end up with a public with a short attention span.
