Isn’t a “persistent spike” just an increase?

At least this will make it easier to identify douchebags

They were paying people to fucking ask it questions? A professional Google searcher?

I asked a younger coworker something similar about Facebook and facebook messenger a few years ago in relation to cyber bullying. I asked her why the younger generation doesn’t just get off social media if they’re being bullied, and her response was that these platforms are how people communicate now. Without them, you don’t find out about parties, trips, events, etc. Without them you get left out. If you abandon them, you’re essentially ostracizing yourself.

After hearing that I understood why just giving them up is difficult.
