If they are, this is a good effort 🙄

Or am I just getting older and more boring, intolerant, etc..

Utter fluff piece that, must be the BBC looking for something positive to write about. It's a sad sign of the times that "hamster bro" is the best they could find.

The bbc like all media outlets will track activity to understand what people want to read more about.  By posting it here, rather than send a message to the bbc wales editor that he should up the quality of his journalism, you have raised the exposure and added clicks!  Consequently when he’s asked next week if he’d like a piece on how a stick insect is helping someone study for their exams he’s more likely to say yes.

Tbh it sounds like a great story, I would be interested too.

Certainly more interesting than celebrity/royal family shite.

It's a picture not a link, so no clicks to be had there. Lesson learnt from a previous post.

Personally I think it reflects the steady downhill spiral of the BBC in part driven by the Tories who hated the serious policy/descision questioning from a (once highly) respected (but not perfect) organisation and Labour who, like the Tories, are lost for ideas to fund it.

Or just have a sense of humour and not edit the typo?
