    The term “attention theft” is some dystopian shit, and just probable enough to make me vomit in my mouth.

      Attention theft is an existing term, though it’s used to describe bad practices by marketers. I suppose it’s bad that the term has had to come into existence, but it is good that it exists as a way to talk about bad practices more easily.
