Comment on Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do
tb_@lemmy.world 1 year agoOne thing about this particular phenomenon that the article doesn’t take into account is that Gen Z is a lot more online than boomers are, hence they are exposed more often to the dangers it often.
Did you even read the article? That’s literally the first reason they give:
There are a few theories that seem to come up again and again. First, Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology.
Read the article? Gen-Z doesn’t read articles! /s
They acknowledge their bias but don’t account for it in their numbers, smells like statistics manipulation to me

And not even entirely by choice, a boomer - fairly well off financially - can reasonably spend years without touching the internet if they don’t work.
Imma fail my classes if I don’t sign on once a day, and depressed as fuck in my apartment if I can’t even watch Netflix lmao

Good luck paying your rent without the internet too.
