Extrapolates a distinction between number of questions and answer based on age from a tiny data set, acknowleeges large scale changes over time that applies to all ages, offhandedly mentions the actual reason (early experiences with the internet), then goes back to random speculation.
What a terribly incoherent article. Capitalizing 'Mine' made it a struggle. Why didn't they capitalize 'ours' for consistency? If I was tha author I would assume it was because of generational self centeredness or something, because everything needs to be generational conflict!
OP here is also the author of the linked article, and OP has very specific positions about capitalised pronouns
Well that was an interesting rabbit hole, thanks!
It's what is called guessing. The author isn't saying "this is how it is, it's fact". They are postulating and guessing. But you read it and take it as if this was a scientific paper published in a journal with a dataset = 20 or something.

You are misreading a fun bit of snark as anger.
