  Facebook is nothing comparing to Google, they have an OS and a browser remember?

    But how does Google “harvest attention?”

        I believe the distinction they are trying to make, if any, is harvesting attention vs harvesting information. Fair enough, while Google as a whole is more on harvesting information (I would say Facebook too), Youtube employs a bunch of dark patterns to make users remain on the site. At the end of the day, they go hand in hand, those ads need to be served.
