uninterestingness

Lack of appeal

Uninterestingness is the quality of failing to capture or hold attention.

It describes something so lacking in novelty, appeal, or significance that it provokes no curiosity or engagement.

The word often appears in contexts where someone is deliberately noting the absence of interest as itself noteworthy: The sheer uninterestingness of the data suggested we were looking in the wrong place.
