Loading ...I realised it first when people started using phones with cameras, nearly 30 years ago. All of a sudden you could take and store a thousand or two photos on your phone, of all things, at zero cost. This meant that quality deteriorated; you don’t spend time getting the light correct, or the pose, you fire away and get one reasonable shot out of five – but don’t bother deleting the other four. Within a couple of years people have tens of thousands of photos that they will never look at, and can’t find the ones that they want. By now they will have hundreds of thousands. The same has happened with medical papers which are so easy to publish online that there are now over 80,000 papers saying how good statins are and 500 warning the opposite. Finding the 500 would be difficult enough without them being suppressed.
