You didn’t hear this from me, but YouGov just did a survey on gossiping.
The survey found that majorities of Americans think gossip is bad for society, harmful, and mean-spirited. But at least one-fifth of adults really enjoy gossip.
Most Americans think gossip is always or usually bad for society, including 26% who say it is always bad. 21% say it is good as often as it is bad, and just 4% think it is always or usually good for society.
Adults under 45 (62%) are less likely than people 45 and older (74%) to say gossip is bad for society.
