Apropos...
1) For all its challenges the BBC is the single most widely used source of news in the UK and is highly and broadly trusted across much of the political spectrum,. See e.g. Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism research here: reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/bbc-und... 1/3
What if people appreciate having an abundance of content and communication, more than they feel overloaded by it?
@annisch.bsky.social et al decided to have a look. Their results? "We found that appreciation for abundance was about twice as common as overload".
