This isn&#x27;t just about advertising.  It&#x27;s equally about bad or distracting design.<p>But ultimately it&#x27;s about concentration.  I believe, for the most part, that multitasking is a myth.  When I am reading something difficult, or that I would like to remember in detail later, I need to focus on it exclusively and read it without interruption.  That means ad blockers, print view, etc.<p>&gt; As the landslide of bullshit surges down the mountain, people will increasingly gravitate toward genuinely useful, well-crafted products, services, and experiences that respect them and their time<p>This sounds like wishful thinking to me.  Marketing and design are surely down to a psychological science by now.
