How Good Is Your Attention Span? (HARD MODE)

[@gletchbus]

Subscribe for the little hedgehog :) Many people found the original version too “easy” (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJnEiqGKZZ2egqs), so I accepted the challenge lol! 10 minutes in general is not long, but did YOU pass the test? 🤔

[@gletchbus]

A longer version?

[@gletchbus]

Thank you for watching! I think I should wait before making a longer version :P

[@masubabrenda]

​@@gletchbus Cant find something like this on KZbin. This is really good. Almost like visual meditation. Btw I found the food and crunch was the most challenging, I was going to lose if it had lasted longer 😂😂 very good exercise when you are hungry.

[@bedopskepop7936]

I failed as soon as the hello happened. I’m very good at ignoring visual stimuli while also processing what it is, but auditory takes away all my attention immediately

[@gletchbus]

That's interesting! I added that on purpose to make the test more challenging, especially based on the original video

Same for me

[@RGustavo_32]

[@yangliu6901]

Assuming “not looking away” means at least having the center of your vision located at the blue circle, I barely passed! Hardest thing was the text, but I rapidly blinked my eyes anytime I had the urge to look away

[@gletchbus]

I would say it means keeping your eyes within the diameter of the circle! Also blinking fast is a great tactic 😂

[@1one519]

Me too whenever text would appear it was almost like a urge to read them, and blinking somehow helped not look at them.

[@chasescorner2902]

I was able to read the simpler words like thanks or see the guy doing parkour the first time but after that I was able to refocus on the clock and the circle

[@MrWildBoi]

Then you were looking at the inside of your eyelids, not the circle

[@yangliu6901]

[@cawwwol]

oh my god i immediately failed at the hello part, as soon as the audio plays my eyes just went to the hello text 😭😭 this is harder than i thought

Lol did you do the 3 minute version already?

[@generalgrievous-]

When what you see in your peripheral is so vivid you can't tell if you're still looking at the circle or not

[@ejc101]

everything is red, and theres a orb in the middle of my vision, and i have the urge to absolutely put in the most attention possible when doing any movement

They should've made it so that there were no tricks, no auditory/visual stimuli, and only the blue dot was there (without the countdown.) That would most definetly be the hardest version

[@gletchbus]

Maybe but it would also be no different than just staring at something else I would say

[@vinekeset]

I made it, it was actually kind of hard. my strategy was thinking, that the blue dot is everything. the blue dot will help me find the right path and help me complete it. it was a lot of fun, thanks!

[@gletchbus]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! That's a very cool way to think about it :)

[@Dandilion222]

I can't believe I actually passed this test...I CAN FINALLY TELL PEOPLE I HAVE A GOOD ATTENTION SPAN. I almost lost a few times not to the video but because I randomly started to daydream. Whenever I daydream I usually look off to the side so this would mean looking away from the dot, so to make sure I didn't lose focus I would rapidly blink my eyes. This was fun though so glad I actually made it!

[@nigelvanzanten227]

You almost got me at the fake loading screen as I sometimes do have trash internet so I thought it was legit. I decided to wait it out just a little bit though in case it belonged to the video. If it would have taken any longer I probably would have failed. I somehow did actually manage to keep my attention on the blue circle for the full 10 minutes, so maybe my attention span isn’t actually as bad as I thought.

[@gletchbus]

Nice you got past all the tricks lol!

[@Elvyne]

Funnily enough, this one almost got me but then I got a *true* loading screen. Awkward moment!

[@smole6562]

You don't even have to look at the circle and it's still a test of attention span.

[@squiddog8933]

I love this video so much, even though it felt so evil at times 😅 The "Hello" towards the beginning was the closest thing to getting me, and the red background at 253 was honestly really uncomfortable on my phone screen lol

Haha it's great that you liked it! I actually purposely made it "evil" because many people said the original version was too easy lol

[@thenamesastro680]

DANGIT i accidentally looked away at 8:04 when he said "fast" but for the most part I held my own. funny challenge, If I were to watch this every day would this ultimately increase my attention span?

[@TravelingZebra]

I mean likely, but it would also burn a blue circle permanently into your retina, so I would tell you to watch Point crow watch paint for 10 hours, or just do it yourself, definitely increase your attention span, or just meditate, that helps as well.

[@raythegamer8860]

I managed to stop my eyes from looking away RIGHT when they got to the edge of the blue circle. I never felt so scared from a video until that moment

[@galaxygamer14568]

Gave this to my little sister (Gen Alpha) to see if all those “Gen Alphas have no attention span” things are true. She finished it pretty easily, and although I can’t completely confirm she didn’t look away, her eyes seemed like they stayed still. So there is definitely hope in this new generation.

Please make more this scratches an itch in my brain I can’t describe

[@ashsecho]

I just spend 10 minutes looking at a blue dot. I’m so productive

[@radicalquad]

here's some ideas that would make this even harder - put in discord, steam, etc. notification sounds. people might think that someone sent them a message and look away to see what it is - flash some text for like a couple frames. this might be a bit of a stretch, but people tend to go back and pause at when the text appears so they can read it - fake advertisement. the circle will still be there, but people might gain a false sense of security and look away knowing that an advertisement is out of their control - family guy clips - near the end, have an end screen with recommended videos and the channel button in the corners. - this might be a little risky, and it is something you mentioned before, but try including some... thirst traps - try including stylized captions. this is a feature that not a lot of people know about, so it might catch them off guard - skibidi toilet - this one might be too evil, but at the beginning of the video, put "don't worry, there will be no flashing lights or jumpscares", and then later on, put text that says "EPILEPSY WARNING" or "JUMPSCARE WARNING" right above the circle. this'll also test people's memory, although the epilepsy might be going too far - subway surfers - have someone say "MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONTENT" in the video. this'll make the like button and or the subscribe button glow rainbow, which might catch people off guard

[@Hannah-m6q-y8l]

2:40 I sat there for nearly three minutes and giggled, but didn't look away. I will try it again later.

[@adecentlygoodname]

The text was really hard to get past, as it is really annoying not knowing what somebody said. I don't understand why a lot of people where put off by the audio, but for me the flipbook and rapidly changing images was a lot more challenging.

[@gletchbus]

It's been really interesting reading the comments as everyone is so unique lol! I think you're the first one to mention the flipbook too! :P

[@TheDorkEvilOne]

I only got mildly distracted a few times until the cat drawings, & it the 370's the soft music helped, which tracks with how having music or quiet talking or white noise helps my ADHD brain focus in life.

I lasted 7 minutes, 178 seconds left. I lost my focus for half a second and it was enough for my eyes to glance at the damned nail.

Ngl the reason why I tried to do this test is because I wanna see if hyper focus actually exist and I didn’t think I actually made it to complete 10 MINUTES (I have Autism and ADHD and I didn’t really believe in hyper focus, thought it was just something for others to help “special” people cope)

[@custommediacreations]

Hyper focus does indeed exist, I would know. I get hyper focused on what I’m doing, especially if it’s something I’m interested in. Next time you do something you enjoy, see if you get lost in it, Chances are you most likely will. Hyper focus is a really handy skill, we tend to focus on things so much so that we are practically limitless. Like a sponge absorbing any knowledge, we can also use hyper focus to see things that others may not see. It’s quite interesting. I reckon you’ve definitely been in a hyper focused state before.
