# attention.economy
## 101
> **Attention economics** is an approach to the [management of information](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_management "Information management") that treats human [attention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention "Attention") as a scarce [commodity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity "Commodity") and applies [economic theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_theory "Economic theory") to solve various information management problems.

pluralistic@mamot.fr - This is the commercial pressure that turned the esoteric web into the generic web of sensationalism, clickbait and cute animals. It didn't just transform what writers wrote - it also transformed how writers and readers related to one another.

utopiah@mastodon.pirateparty.be - Yes ... https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1554074975862226946 and sadly my still so terribly current (yet raw) notes on Postman's Amusing Ourselves To Death https://fabien.benetou.fr/ReadingNotes/AmusingOurselvesToDeath

### folders and autechre
> A lot of the recent Autechre output has been a celebration of the big, fat unshackled ponder, the great idea sent boinging down the can for ten minutes and then popping out of the combine. The thirty-five live shows came to us on top of the 2016 “album” _elseq 1-5_ (which lasts four hours and feels like ten) and the 2018 four-volume “album” _NTS Sessions_ (which goes on for eight hours and feels like six). These are folders, not albums.
