"If we apply that to our post-industrial, online economy where attention is the creator of value… then isn’t our attention, in fact, our labor? (...) That is to say: attention has value, and not just online."

this portion is really resonating with me today in all the anxiety over elon musk/twitter and thinking further back to the past decade of trump. it also seems to explain why letting them steal our attention is so draining emotionally and i know i have very little energy for 'me' at the end of the day. just another way capitalism siphons the everyperson's value.
