    I am stunned it is only 15%. I guess the study ruled out the reposting of content.

    I have seen shit echo on Reddit for over a decade.

        Depends on how you count it: https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/?x=19755.639226167965&y=11639.277543371396&z=34822.44646362009&v=2

      Well the article said that the study is from 2020. So it might be a lot worse now.

        The study is likely fabricated by this blog post from what I can find.

          You might be right. I tried to check the “Computers in Human Behavior” to find the article, but couldn’t find it.
