No one is reading this because no one has clicked on a clickbait title. I will keep an eye on story stats and will do nothing if someone decides to read this text. Also, I was planning to reveal a very important, life-changing, rich-making fact at the end, but probably won’t do it because no one will read to the end.

(Author + DALL·E)

Why did I mention children and why did I mention that something might happen to them?

Firstly, because a song by Manic Street Preachers with a similar title sometimes plays in my head. I am not a big fan of songs about the Spanish Civil War, but the title and chorus is quite powerful. It was a clickbait back in 1998. Everyone wanted to listen to the song and learn what will happen to their children if they tolerate something. It hooked me for a long time.

Secondly, because that should trigger attention about attention stealing.

The article is really short and does not have anything interesting to say except the fact that “People are feeling anxious, poor and exhausted because they get robbed of their precious attention and cheated by clickbait every day. And they don’t have any more energy to spend quality time with their loved ones.” BUT, they at least tried to learn the ~5.5 most important lessons to be healthy, rich and happy.
