The presentation itself is a huge distraction. I understand the good intention behind it. but does it really neccessary to use 137 pages to illustrate a very simple issue? I think 5 pages is more than enough to explain it clearly. I read this minimize distraction slides have been viewed half millions time already, if the maker use the slides carefully, wouldn't it save a millions of hours user's time. And life?

No, but the issue wasn't that simple in 2013.

hundreds of thousands by that math, it also took me about 20 minutes to read through it.

I think Tristan Harris was aware of that and that also probably is the point.

Then the guy must have a sense of humor. that is nice point. thanks for the comment.

A simple issue? This isn't a simple issue. I challenge you to cover it in 5 pages.

And spending a time on something that could potentially save everyone tons of time, and improve lives? That's exactly what people should be spending their time on. All of us.
