What is Reddit's opinion of The Attention Merchants: The Epic Scramble to Get Inside Our Heads?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Also see The Attention Merchants by Tim Wu.

Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985) followed by Tim Wu's The Attention Merchants (2016).

The former is a bit more abstract and makes the case that Orwell was wrong and Huxley was right. 1984 worried about a world controlled by Big Brother with government censorship while Brave New World showed a dystopia where censorship wasn't necessary -- just take some soma and be distracted.

The latter takes a hard look at our current attention ecosystem.

P.S. give me upvotes so my dopamine level spikes and my brain learns that posting on Reddit at 11 am on a Friday is fun!

I cannot recommend Tim Wu's book The Attention Merchants enough.
