Attention camping

Attention is extremely important and valuable in the internet world, it determines who you buy from and who you are influenced by. This idea is a website where you create a description of what you want attention for and then you camp (which means wait) for a match up with someone who wants to pay attention to it, based on a matching algorithm. When there is a group of 10 people who want to pay attention to something, it opens up the item and people can chat and interact on that item.

Centrally plan your attention based on what you want to pay attention to rather than browsing or doomscrolling.

Create an extremely deep profile of what you want to pay attention to, what you think is interesting and everything you find interesting.

We can use large language models to compare similarity of everyone's profiles with other people in vector/embedding space.

Create items that you want to share with others and when a critical mass of people reach the same item, then an item is created and everyone is notified that they want the same thing.

This is an asynchronous community, like email waits for someone to reply.

Sort of like Meetup, but without actually meeting up? [Ander, Jun 16 2023]

       I don't know whether this is brilliant, but it is a fragment of something brilliant.

       Like a Tinder for conversation topics with, I fear, the same pressures to drive people towards superficiality and attention-grabbing headlines

       hippo, that's the beauty of this idea, the attention is targeted at you based on what you like. That's why you have to write a description of what you want to pay attention to.
