    Nobody has the attention span to read them - as proven by the declining buy-in on YouTube videos longer than a TikTok reel - let alone write them. Written media will continue to rapidly decline.

      Tbh I don’t have an attention span for a video. Let me read at my leisure and I can consume a whole book somewhere between other stuff. Watching a video? I’m distracted even before it started.

        Exactly! I can skip the preamble and get to the actual substance immediately if I can just read it.

      Yes indeed, Sir. Your generation was the only Enlightened one, everyone younger than you is just a reel-addicted monkey incapable of reading.

        Not sure why you went on the defence, my generation is the reel addicted monkeys that stopped learning anything and instead started spouting off “knowledge” from doomscrolling. We’re the ones that are killing printed media, and we’re the ones either airing or producing worse and worse garbage on TV as well.

        We’re killing our own attention span year by year and none of us want to be uncomfortable for a second by admitting it’s a problem.
