In days gone by leisure time was filled by 'finding something to do', we had all been educated to think that doing nothing was not a good option. So we did things like playing out, reading and later on going to night school or something similar. Now all people have to do to fill idle hours is reach for the tablet or phone and dive into social media where there is some good stuff but there is poison as well. Entering disputes is one way to get attention and the more vitriolic it is the more 'followers' you get. It's got to the stage now where you can make money by being an 'influencer' and you can see this happening even in vlogs that used to be purely instructional. It's such a powerful medium and I am afraid is open to abuse. One of the easiest fields to enter is gender, race is another one, make your own list. I see that Mary Portass has moved on to be a 'style guru', it used to be shopping, she's a good example.
This also explains why the media is infested with 'pundits'.
"pundit (n.) 1670s, "learned Hindu," especially one versed in Sanskrit lore, from Hindi payndit "a learned man, master, teacher," from Sanskrit payndita-s "a learned man, scholar," of uncertain origin. Broader application in English is first recorded 1816. "
We have debased the original meaning, many 'pundits' are anything but learned and scholarly.
Later, only a small thing but as I prepared my carrots I noticed one was actually four carrots in one. I have never noticed this before.
