“attention economy” feels like an outdated, zero-sum way of thinking about the future of work
is there another term that better encompasses the meta-game of shepherding attention for better outcomes?

some quick googling: “caring economy” seems to have been subverted by left-wingers, while “care economy” describes the step-down healthcare industry

I guess “wellness economy” comes closer than either of those two terms, but covers much broader ground. Looking for something more scoped and specific.

🤔 haven't heard that term before, a quick googling throws up “Who doesn’t want to live in convivial company, where convivial implies fellow feeling, generosity, a sense of belonging, a desire to keep everyone in good spirits, and a true concern for people who aren’t?”

And that brings in an element of mutual interest and investment, which is what I was looking for which was missing in attention economy
