“participation in networks”? IDK. Is “social media” too narrow? I intuitively include LW, blogs, forums, email, as social media. Youtube is a mix; I consider it social media when I’m using it as pica for talking to a person, and I endorse most of my other Youtube use (e.g. videos of natural phenomena, or documentaries, or clever inventions). But yeah I could imagine being seriously attention-sniped in some other unendorsed way.
“attention service usage”? “consumption service usage”? That’s not really clear, though it does have a precise meaning that I think is what you’re trying to point at: services (i.e. computer programs running somewhere else that do some computing task for you) which are attention / consumption based (i.e. the thing you’re getting from the service is something you’re going to just directly experience, as opposed to running it through some more computation). Services which are attention-based seem like the central type of technology that induces attention-sniping incentives. (Though it’s not sufficient, e.g. Wikipedia.)
