More people believe the world is flat than know what a "decentralized social network" is.

  More people know what Ben & Jerry's ice-cream is than understand how a touchscreen works. What's your point?

  Changing goalposts. chrstphrknwtn was responding to your comment on privacy and now you changed to talking about decentralized social networks. Quote: > I would say 90% or more of Facebook users couldn't care less if their data is sold to advertisers. So, changing goalposts.

    How am I changing goalposts? I'm making the point that "a lot" is a throwaway term. It's like saying a car is "very fast." Well, compared to a jet, a car is not fast at all. Also, "a lot" means something different to me than it does to you. So saying "a lot" of people do or believe anything is meaningless.
