in reply to @NireBryce's post:
That surprise me, I thought it was the reverse: what is in social media came from academia. But I don't know what is happening in academia right now.
already written theory, sure, people pull from academia, even for recent stuff, because no one believes just someone blogging or talking on Twitter.
but a lot of "communities" end up essentially being research incubators thanks to shared thinking on a subject that people can stepwise build up into something coherent. for two years the only research on long covid quality of life was run by people with it, and it's now a research dataset.
