This reminds me of the saying that life is a choice. People choose to push their attention to what they feel is beneficial to them. Most people in web 2 are after the entertainment they get without earning from it, maybe satisfactory to them. However building on hive comes with lots of knowledge and financial success, it's a choice. Even some authors with long form of contents, I do take my time to read provided there's value.
It depends on the kind of knowledge I love consuming. There's one author here who I have stopped reading from him because of how lengthy and boring his content can be...I would have continued if it's long and valuable. Overall, hive gives us the opportunity to learn, have fun and succeed. As for me, I just explore and find what I want and keep following that.
You're right, we all choose who and what we give our attention span to. Some people choose entertainment only and that's probably understandable. On Hive if you put that much time and energy overtime it's actually very profitable more than anything.
I understand how some long form content can be, but if I have to learn from. It, then I go ahead and that's how I've come to learn a few things about crypto.
