Buying an indie platformer that you might not play is not anywhere close to actual IRL hording. And it's not even what is being described as digital hording in that article from UCLA.

It's straight up irresponsible to compare it to an actual hording mental disorder. Like, you must not have ever experienced that in any capacity to think that.

Although, surely digital horders have some cross over. But the prevalence of people not playing a game they bought on discount ain't it fam.

Both great metrics to have, true.

Short term and long term impacts are both worthy of study, surely.

Good example! That poll would be a relevant result for a percent of the population the believes in god.

Yes, it does. A subjective response can absolutely be an objective result.

Agreed. Also, A and C assume things are bad which is a lame assumption. Sometimes things are going good specifically because of a special interest.

You can conclude that teachers experience a better classroom environment. There was also 1/3 that did observe academic improvement.

E: Also, a teachers subjective experience is still an objective result if you are considering the qol aspect of the policy.

That's another type of study that is also worthwhile. But the effects of distracted students on teachers and the classroom as a whole is also relevant.

Who better to poll than teachers for this type of study? They are the ones in the trenches and can gauge the results.

It's a real staff infection

Staff scientists at work vanish into thin air upon receiving this profound take.
