Don’t even get me started. In my day, scribes had the decency to carve their work into tablets. Then, next thing you know they’re all doom scrolling through whatever schlock-filled papyrus mid-level officials decide to churn out.
With the tablets you had to know what you wanted to say and be brief about it. Now that the kids have scrolls they just write and write and write and its all slop.
And to make a tablet you had to collect enough for what you wanted to say. In my day that meant hard work for laconic prose. Now these kids grab a handful of reeds in minutes to write volumes of drivel.
