What is Attention Sucker?

Attention Sucker is a free browser-based idle game where you start by manually posting AI-generated content for profit. As you progress, you automate the process with bots, battle detection systems, manage mask economics, and watch reality itself deteriorate under the weight of synthetic content.

The game satirizes modern issues including:

AI Content Farms - The rise of mass-produced AI slop flooding social media
Bot Automation - The arms race between content bots and detection systems
Attention Economy - The commodification of human attention and engagement
Digital Authenticity - The erosion of trust, quality, and reality coherence
Market Saturation - Economic collapse from content oversupply
