Online news stories primary goal is to gain viewership and “customer reaction” measured by traffic figures. Although I agree this shouldn’t be news, it is undeniably a successful news story due to the interactivity it’s creating.
As long as people are triggered into clicking on that link, it’ll be seen as “what the people want” and therefore “good news story” by the media.
Yes I’m aware I’ve just described click bait to someone who clearly would understand the concept, I apologise lol
I gave you that information, I said “from 1 to 2” and added context of “a tree” (singular)
My terribly made point is that although technically correct when talking about relative increase it’s dumb as fuck to say trees “surged in population” after adding just one more on one street. It’s a drop on the ocean.
I feel like the term surge respects the final total relative to what its maximum could be as well as the relative increase. But obviously language is regional and up for interpretation
What a disconnected statement. Every once in a while I recommend going into the real world (yes I know it’s scary) and exploring your relationships out side of the internet
I wonder how many people have the same idea as you but then just forget when they walk back. On top of this, they never remember that they forgot so they have a guilty free conscious and do again.
If you’re confident you always pick it back up 100% of the time then great! But I wouldn’t do it because I’m dumb and would forget like 10% of the time.
