I found this such an interesting article. Gen Z is a pioneer generation, imv. I hope they lead us to a better society and future.
For those of you who are Gen Z, would you agree with the observations in the article?
Now that’s just wrong, the majority of algorithms referred to here absolutely take location into account.
Location is part of how valuable a user is. They get different content and ads based in part on location.
This is exactly what people have been saying about Millennials for over a decade.
Not the smoothest way to mix ratios in a sentence.
…not a lot to argue for a while I suppose if you believe their premise then
Dead wrong. Not every western democracy has Australia’s advantages such as compulsory and preferential voting system.
Overall I disagree that Gen Z are going to continue to be significantly more progressive than Millennials based on data I’ve seen in the past. They’re really underestimating the gender gap with Gen Z politics.
Why are you upset to the point of being in denial about the generation younger than yours being more left wing when you’re presumably left wing.
It might be news to you but it is possible to critique the work of others without being upset. That you’re upset I dared disagree with the article says more about you than about me.
Firstly, Millenials are the first generation to go further left as they age, countering the authors claims that Millenials have become more conservative.

And as I said there has been consistent polling showing that Gen Z men are more conservative than previous generations, being beaten out only by boomers.

Whether or not these socially conservative beliefs translate into conservative votes is another matter.
"Results from this masthead’s Resolve Political Monitor showed young Australian men were swinging back towards left-wing candidates in the middle of the Australian election campaign, with only modest differences between young men’s and women’s voting intentions on a two-party basis. "
Literally from the article you posted. Guess how Gen z voted in the election.
The claim in the article was
This is not shown in data, which indicates that Millenials are more socially progressive than Gen Z.
From the SMH article I linked, which is in line with other polling. Kosmos interpretation of the data and represenation of Gen Z as more progressive than previous generations appears to be false based on polling data.
What you’ve quoted has literally no bearing on the fact that Gen Z are more socially conservative than previous generations.
They are separate data points. I’m not sure how to break this down further for you.
Go back to the derby bro. They’ll appreciate the hoops you’re jumping through there
Reading comprehension is jumping through hoops now 🤡
I’ve just been quoting the shit you’ve been posting back at you it’s not my fault you haven’t got your story straight
It really helps if you actually understand what you’re quoting because you clearly don’t.
