Scams, Pap and Clickbait

I received a scam text and a scam email this morning, so nothing unusual from our digital world.

To my mind the main digital world headache isn’t so much the scams, but what seems like an increasing morass of pap and clickbait infesting the media instead of material which might possibly be worth a bit of attention. For example, political pap inserted into mainstream news creates a kind of pap fog where features of Keir Starmer’s long reign…

…hang on - er - he hasn’t been PM for that long has he?

Correction indicated, but that’s the issue with political pap, it becomes more difficult to look back on brighter days. Partly because they weren’t much brighter and partly because of pap fog obscuring the perspective.

But Starmer’s long, long reign must surely end eventually…
