... but, but, but all the zoomers in here like to act like they are savvy when it comes to scams and they always seem to think they know better than everyone else.
I mean they are, these stats are aggressively manipulated against gen z. Its per population not per online population, boomers have their lives designed around not requiring the internet, gen z doesn't really have a choice
Zoomers on Lemmy probably know better.
It would be nice to see their sample grouping though. If someone leaves a finding statement to fit something as broad as an entire generation, it leaves questions as to who exactly was polled. I don't just mean overall, I would like assurance that every age group has it's own equal representation.
I would expect that a very large number of people across various countries, ethnicities, education levels, health levels, and more for these findings to be at all legitimate. It would be silly to try to define the entire planet's worth of a generation off of a relatively small sample size, like 500 people from across 3 countries.
I would also love to see if the actual questions were biased or not, and if this group has any incentives for certain findings. I can't really say that VOX is one of my go-to sources for serious stuff either, though.
Learning about media bias was HUGE when I was in school. It's everywhere.
I think you give them too much credit.
That's not how statistics work. The article is talking about the entirety of Gen Z, inferring that the same must be true for any subset of that group is just wrong.
Edit: Your downvote doesn't change statistics, @Hazdaz@lemmy.world
