Growing evidence suggests the attention economy has reached its saturation point. Key data points: (1) Average US screen time declined 7% in H1 2026 - first decline ever (2) Substack Subscriber growth +55% YoY - people paying for focused reading (3) Smartphone sales -3% globally, with premium segment ($800+) growing +12% (4) "Digital minimalism" search volume +210% since 2024. The backlash is not against technology but against attention extraction. Products that respect user attention (minimal notifications, no algorithmic feeds, privacy-first) are winning premium subscribers. The next consumer shift: paying for less, not more.
