View submission: Discussion: Dealing with low reading comprehension on reddit
A really interesting observation,....
I think a lot of it is due to sheer volume of content. You could read and read all day, without ever actually reading a book or a thought-out article, just random stuff that people wrote.
Something similar is happening, but at a slower rate, with movies and shows, there's just so many more of them now. The average person can't create and publish a movie or show, the way people create content online (imagine if all the posts created in one day, were a show, or a season of a show). If they could, everything would get watered down. There's an assumption of lack of quality when there's too much quantity. This is why it's better, for me at least to only look at a few subs, and a few posts a day, and only on reddit. I would probably lose the ability to focus or my general sense of curiosity, if I consumed any more.
There's nothing here!
