I'm not going to do you a personalised study. Why don't you check it for yourself instead of down voting, or perhaps actually prove me wrong - my comments clearly stated this is anecdotal and "effectively"?

If you take a small pool individuals who discuss technical topics, and dilute it with more people it will trend down owing to the population IQ approaching the average of ~100.

Technical articles will also be less prevalent owing to the relative greater number of non technical topics and less interest in those that are.

It's not that technical people don't enjoy memes, it's that the wider populous won't enjoy esoteric technical or scientific articles.
