    I do believe motivation and attention are closely linked so motivation is likely a factor in the decline we’re seeing in attention capacity

    You misunderstand this, the link to motivation has to do with how salient a particular thing is to you overrides any abstracted idea of attention span not that people “aren’t motivated enough” in general which is nonsense moralizing.
