ORIGINAL POSTERSo what's up with all the recent bait posts?? Or have that many stupid people recently joined?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation reflects on the recent increase in low-quality or 'bait' posts within an online expat community focused on Thailand. Participants suggest various reasons, including a perception that some newcomers might not be critically engaged or might abandon common sense upon arriving in Thailand. There are also comments about the influence of current events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which some believe relates to the spread of misinformation and a general decline in rational discourse.

There is unfortunately a large population of folk who are too eager to express to the world their idiocy in the form of anti-science, anti-vaccine. Maybe Covid19 will reduce said population as a blessed form of Darwin’s natural selection?

You have a very English sounding name though. Unless you're Irish or Welsh, then English is most likely your native language. I doubt you're German or French with that name.Michael ********
