I wonder whether the average person is really as retarded as they are made out to be by large corporations.

Obviously yes. Reddit could change the app icon to a swastika and hide the real icon behind a $50 paywall and people would still use the app because of convenience.

"Don't want your friends to think you are a nazi? Simple, just pay us 1 bitcoin... every month"

What? Redditors would pay MORE to change their icon to a swastika. Change the icon back, and charge $50 for a hate symbol and you got yourself a steady income, baby!

Median can also be called average. Average doesn't strictly mean mean
