@researchfairy I prefer "it's all about how it's used on you."!

@floppyplopper @researchfairy at the end of my phase reading one or two newspapers a day I concluded that not many people do that much, and even fewer remember what they read. Even reporters (who now work at a sweatship pace and mostly from their office). That is how reporters keep falling for the same scams over and over again such as tech hype.

And of course, some media depends on tech hype to sell ads and subscriptions!
