MODERATORS
I bet almost all are just on Whatsapp sending images with Christian quotes to each other.
UKs 70 year olds are far less likely than their American counterparts to share Christian memes. They share different kinds of reactionary memes suggesting that 'woke' and what they think is hilarious to call 'elf and safety' are the causes of why things are so shit now rather than looking somewhat closer to home.
Minions memes and cartoons about The Wife. That's the stereotype here.
That and nude selfies
More likely forwarding a mix of funny cat videos, gardening tips, home remedies, and paid-for conspiracy theories to all their friends and family, while convincing themselves that they are successfully doing research.
Don't worry - it's for a good cause of saving the youth from a dystopian future of carbon-neutral transportation and walk/bike-able cities & neighbourhoods. Sigh.
