Weird message in the Beeper window: "3 in 10 people say an organized inbox would make their mornings less stressful." So, are you telling me I shouldn't worry about having an organized inbox? Because it doesn't *feel* like that's what you're saying.

I know that 82% of stats are made up, but I've noticed recently stats that aren't very high being used to make a point: "24% of people thought {thing} was awesome, buy it now!". Have we stopped paying attention to the number? Anyone else seen this?

@Floppy I smell AI spam that does not comprehend the number has any meaning 🤦‍♀️

@Slash909uk hm, yeah, good point; that feels like a distinct possibility in many of these cases.

@Floppy Seems we’ve fallen a long way from “8 out of 10 cats prefer it”. Definitely smacks of generic (and misled) “increase engagement by showing a number”.

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk The other seven are still working through their inbox and so haven't had a chance to answer the survey.

@Floppy the other 7 didn't see the survey email amongst the clutter, or were too stressed to deal with it.

@Floppy so 70% think an organized inbox would make their mornings /more/ stressful?!? 😉

Happy to keep mine disorganized then 🤣

@Floppy
43 % of us have seen it.

@Floppy that is an odd thing to show. ‘Well done you, most people don’t care’
