> tl;dr: The attention span of the person is now three seconds. If you can't grab that three seconds; next.
I don't know this is true in general. Only in very noisy environments, which is like the opposite of what a forum is. The harder you clamor for attention, the harder it is to actually capture it because you're creating an environment where capturing attention for more than three seconds is impossible.
If you create a low-noise environment, you can capture attention for a long time.
