If The Gardian stops telling people what they want to hear today, they'll have fewer paid members tomorrow.

There's more demand for spin based journalism (or activist journalism) than reporting nowadays. I suppose The Guardian - like others - are following the market trend.

I remember studying this in high school geography.

There's a part of the east coast of England that's being eroded at a rate of a couple of metres per year due to the sea cliffs being made up of soft glacial deposits.

It's an interesting example because people can observe the effect of the sea eating the land in a very short time. Some losing homes that were once miles from the coast.

Of course this phenomenon occurs on every coastline, but it takes generations.

You seem to be confusing trends and data points. In my original comment I was pointing out that a trend tells us a lot, while an isolated data point tells us almost nothing.

My issue with the article is that the author uses a data point and frames it like a trend. It's sensational, sure, but it will only be statistically significant when we can observe a trend.

making it difficult to tell what was a genuine post and what was not. Let’s compare some to see if you can tell the difference. Spoiler: It isn’t easy.

Actually it's really easy. Just look at the number of likes/responses.
