'Brain rot': Influencer says people's attention spans are now shorter

A TikToker with 352,000+ followers is questioning what short-form social media content is doing to viewers' attention spans. @candacce said she's noticed that followers who've commented on her videos seem to lack patience with clips that are 2 mins long, telling her to "get to the point." She attributed the phenomenon to "brain rot," saying it could be long Covid, virtual learning, or extended internet use.
