But, perhaps the difference is generational. I haven’t spoken to very many people about this, but what I have noticed is a shift over time from menus to feeds on the internet. Forums are dying. Users don’t want to scroll search results, they want an AI to just give them the answer. And the difference seems to be generational. Perhaps informed by our early experiences with online platforms. It certainly cannot be an absolute distinction, but a correlation seems evident from the state of the world.
Extrapolates a distinction between number of questions and answer based on age from a tiny data set, acknowleeges large scale changes over time that applies to all ages, offhandedly mentions the actual reason (early experiences with the internet), then goes back to random speculation.
What a terribly incoherent article. Capitalizing ‘Mine’ made it a struggle. Why didn’t they capitalize ‘ours’ for consistency? If I was tha author I would assume it was because of generational self centeredness or something, because everything needs to be generational conflict!
It’s what is called guessing. The author isn’t saying “this is how it is, it’s fact”. They are postulating and guessing. But you read it and take it as if this was a scientific paper published in a journal with a dataset = 20 or something.

OP here is also the author of the linked article, and OP has very specific positions about capitalised pronouns
Well that was an interesting rabbit hole, thanks!

Chill out dude. Not everything is rage bait.
You are misreading a fun bit of snark as anger.
