"New Study"

"Two significant studies, the Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018 and the Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020"

So you're saying it's almost certainly a significantly larger percentage now.

Sounds about right.

I'm just saying that the article is not coherent. If we are at the end of 2023 and it talks about a new article, it doesn't make sense that it then mentions two articles, one from 2018 and another from 2020.

You also have to see the irony in an article that forces new user signup to read it in its entirety. The internet is just gross now. Almost everything is corporate garbage or some site or individual trying to establish a “user base” or “followers” etc. I’m mostly just tired of it all. We’ve had radio, tv and now the internet. I’m personally just hoping to be around for the next thing to come along so I can enjoy it before the same cycle hits it and fucking ruins it.

I could tell that and I agree .. not really "new"...
