I'll wager

It's mostly headline skimming or skipping to the comments or social media feeds rather than old school sitting down with a cup of tea and having a good read.

It's all little and often these days, as with the success of a few words on X and stuff like Tik Tok.

Idiocracy was quite prophetic.
