Every study uses sampling. They don’t have the resources to check everything. I have to imagine it took a lot of work to verify conclusively whether something was or was not generated. It’s a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.

I pretty sure they selected posts from a 6 year period, not that they spent six years on the analysis.

“niche market,” is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.

pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us

I can’t believe it dropped 20% over… ooops I had the chart upside down my mistake

The listed indices dropped an amount within the standard range that they regularly fluctuate. The dow is still up from where it was on january 1st. The same can be said for nasdaq and the s&p. Stocks are continuing to trend upward unabated, but they do wiggle as they do so.

Don’t ever trust the news when they say the market “plummets.” They use that term incredibly misleadingly. The lines on the charts wiggle constantly. When something bad happens some hack news sites will find a minor downward wiggle near the same time and they’ll claim causation and pretend that something significant happened to the markets, to drive clicks to their website.

The fact that most of the comments are taking the headline at face value is not a good sign.
