   @twinspin6 @sapphire no, it isn't an age group thing. The "I will not read that" plague has been ramping up for decades. People CBF to read the newspaper or a magazine so we get 24 hour news slop that makes up headlines and exaggerates nothingburgers to sell ads. I can't blame zoomers, or boomers, or any group in particular, I think its societal rather than generational.

     @prettygood @twinspin6 @sapphire our habitual refusal to read is just a natural defence against being destroyed by all the bad faith slop, and it's the false positives that cause the damage
     
     (example i recently had to deal with: i can never find the releases of a project hosted on github because the only link to the releases is not on the top horizontal list like everywhere else, but buried in the right-hand column under a bunch of tracking stats that no user could possibly care less about, in that spot where on any blog or commercial social media you'd expect an ad)
