Just a slight positive spin on this. I mean, I get it. Just like all of you I read this headline and say, no shit.

I guess I use different sites…
Who are these critics and why is the BBC interviewing people who were born yesterday /s
I feel like Google would tell you the same thing if asked.
No shit
