Attentive Design
summary
Argument: time spent is a bad metric and attention should be measured as a living connection, not minutes. Evidence: analysis of ad-driven incentives, examples of notification and feed mechanics, and alternatives in the creator-funded economy (newsletters, subscriptions at Steady Media). Tools and work: a flashlight metaphor, visual attention diagrams inspired by Cajal and data humanism, self-tracking and workshops that prototype rituals (video-conference "spy at home", True Love Studio) which reveal usable patterns for attention-as-connection.
