The problem is that new significant developments aren't happening most of the time.
But they have to fill the 24 hours with SOMETHING.
So they engage in meaningless babble-babble-babble. [אגב - from the pasuk עַל־כֵּ֞ן קָרָ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל כִּי־שָׁ֛ם בָּלַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה שְׂפַ֣ת כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ].
To respect yourself is to respect the value of your time.
Respect yourself and stay away from their nonsense.
