Lol, Europeans are quick to adopt all the worst things from America related to tech, including social media, streaming services, proprietary software, iPhones, and random IoT garbage. | ||

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Survivorship-bias.svg Every European you meet on social media is necessarily the subset of Europeans who adopted social media. A subset of the population adopting a subset of the stuff doesn't mean adoption in general is as universal as you might assume. e.g. podcast I was listening to the other day had a German complaining about their bank, after the bank suggested they send a fax. | ||
