Thanks, I'll check it out.

I think the general scrolling behavior and looking for something that entertains us makes us tend to jump towards the end of paragraphs quicker. And that behavior extends to the offline-world. How often do you read just the first sentences and then jump to the end, just to see if it's worth reading the whole thing, when you find a veeeery long Reddit post? Social Media does something with our attention span, definitely. Just google it, there are loads of scientific papers on this.

I think Reddit is even worse because it has the highest text share, at least in some subs.

Reduce your Social Media time. Especially Reddit.
