Well before I saw this ... graph?

Well before I saw this ... graph? Ad? Assault on reason? I *thought* I was pretty smart, but now my brain is running out of my ears.

I don't know what's worse... the pointless levels, the not-a-pie-chart format, that percents don't add to 100?

Why is it a circle?

It's like someone explained the concept of "multiple intelligences" to someone incapable of understanding that concept.

Anyway, I'm told this kind of 'content' is "the future"

I bet the numbers are made up. From nowhere.

@futurebird they're trying to get you wound up about it on purpose, so that you engage with the ad and do whatever thing makes them money

As a B.A., English I appreciate that they assigned 86% to the least likely zone and called it WORD SMART

@catmisgivings

I don't see ads very often. So when I do I'm kind of astonished.

Sometimes seeing other people's view of the Internet makes my jaw drop. So many ads, so much pointless animation.

I know the notion of boiling a frog is a myth.

But.

This is boiled frogs. If people could only see how bad it's gotten they would recoil in horror.

@futurebird @jztusk @catmisgivings Growing up today I probably wouldn't be interested in computers.
