I mostly agree, but on the other hand it is sad, if we have to sensationalize science and focus only on the most spectacular or weird aspects. The edge of science is not always entertaining to the masses (e.g. who is interested in the MOF-cages who just were awarded a nobel price) and by the way the masses are anyway not reading on Hive.
Even if we would share cat videos (or whatever is trending nowadays) on Hive, we would not reach "the masses" anytime soon.
So this trend to infotainment which is also in other media ongoing since decades, is a slippery slope on the way to reduce the level of mental clarity and thinking power of the typical reader.
By the way, I use this blog not with a hope to bring masses to Hive (which is delusional) but as a diary rather to document what was going on in the 2020ies, but that´s only my personal view.
