This has actually been an increasingly relevant thing that people in my circles have noticed. They’re less willing to delve into large texts that require a sustained effort. It used to be a non issue for me to follow multiple sites/journals that would publish 5 page long papers. Hell I even actually bothered to read comedic novels. Sometime after I popped my social media cherry with reddit that shit stopped. It’s legitimately a significant hurdle for me to read a whole New York Times article if there’s no real tangible goal to it(a paper I have to write). The time I spent going through actually putting a sustained effort into articles has gone to reading Reddit comments...
Holy shit writing this I realized I need to chill with reddit for a good bit. Should actually read a book...
