  The problem will solve itself eventually. Now that the elderly are leaving the internet, the chance of finding somebody who randomly follows instructions will make this malware trend vanish imho /e: apparently this is more true for Europe than it is for other locations. I mean come on, its two clicks more which you usually do once for a website. And we also had every news station explain to you why the GDPR is a good thing and a big deal.

    Watch people under 30 use computers. They are just as likely to have a million newsletter subscriptions, and to click whatever makes the cookie banner disappear. HN is not a representative sample of the current generation.

    I stopped expecting a demographic change as the boomers age when I looked at the demographics of gen Z and younger. The population “drop” doesn’t look so significant. Meanwhile intelligence/knowledge will always be a rarer feature in the population. There’s just more to do in a day and no one picks the same hobbies.
