I do think it kind of works that way. Take a look at who is affected by blatantly fake news. It’s the people that grew up in an era where there were just a few “legitimate” news sources. People who grew up with misinformation just laugh it off.
Not saying fake news has no effect on young people but it’s definitely a huge difference.

- rglullis 4y agoPlease don't write comments with bold assertions (younger people are less susceptible to ads because they are more familiar with the internet) and then use sneaky caveats to try to back off of those assertions.
- yunwal 4y agoMy assertion is that there is a huge difference between how easy it is to manipulate someone who grew up with ubiquitous marketing vs. someone that did not. Enough that it will become a defining part of generational gaps. The only reason you think I’m backing off of my assertion is because you’re putting words in my mouth
- rglullis 4y ago> huge difference between how easy it is to manipulate someone who grew up with ubiquitous marketing vs. someone that did not. That is an absurd assertion and you are showing an incredible amount of hubris if you think you are somehow "harder to manipulate because you've grown up with ubiquitous marketing".
