It seems so absurd to me this could happen. For the boomers I understand, they grew up in an offline world, but the youth? They are raised on the modern web and smartphones but are often clueless too.
Was it the unsanitized, wild west internet era of the late 90s/early 2000s that hardened the millennials against online bullshitting?
It sure feels that way, explaining to kids that YouTubers will say anything to get you to keep watching, meanwhile the elderly are following Qanon bullshit.
Now that I’m thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?

Good question. That malware is still out there but the operating system can be pretty awful itself.
Ooo, thinking about putting graphene on this phone.
But reading between the lines, it kind of seems like commercial adware has pretty much drowned out most of the visible malware
Hmm I wonder what the stats are!
