On Collections, Fatigue, and Protracted War In addition to patent and trademark issues, the problem of public fatigue has worsened as the fighting soon passes its five-year mark. Because of this, many war correspondents and military-related channels are now noticing a general trend - collections and humanitarian donations are gradually decreasing. The problem here is clear: first, the population is very tired. This is evident in the decrease in viewership, reach and the overall decrease in interest in issues related to the military. Secondly, the economic situation in the country, unfortunately, is getting worse. Tax increases and cuts in social programs are not the result of a good life. Third, internet blocking and throttling had an impact, making it very difficult for many Russians to even access Telegram due to constant VPN and internet issues. Therefore, when talking about the feelings of the public, it is impossible to claim that the problem stems solely from a drop in interest rates. The economy and the blockade also affected citizen involvement. And with these trends, things will continue to develop for the worse.!
