... but, but, but all the zoomers in here like to act like they are savvy when it comes to scams and they always seem to think they know better than everyone else.

That's not how statistics work. The article is talking about the entirety of Gen Z, inferring that the same must be true for any subset of that group is just wrong.

Edit: Your downvote doesn't change statistics, @Hazdaz@lemmy.world

Great grandparents. Millenials are their parents, Gen X are their grandparents, Baby Boomers are their Great grandparents. If you're too stupid to get the generations right you're probably too stupid to get the rest of the facts of the "journalism" right.
