"Scrolling social media makes it harder to read books because it trains your brain to discard previous context in order to understand the next thing, whereas understanding the next thing in a book requires retaining previous context." just saw this on X. link below. thoughts? @7858.eth

Makes intuitive sense, but I think the much bigger issues are: Social media devours time that reading might otherwise claim A lot of social media is packed with short shelf life trash

Definitely right, even nowadays most of the people consume short content that's why it's too hard to focus even 30 minutes .

The current form of most social media is unbearable, "shorts" are the main culprit I think Training us to be goldfish, get that dopamine Warpcaster is an oasis comparatively, though it still has it's odd parts I ran so fast from Xwitter once Benedict Elon started breaking things

I'd agree with this. Social media is just a bombardment of different messages in the matter of a few seconds. There's no story you need to follow really. Plus its also trained people not to have an attention span over a minute, especially when it comes to reading words - i've noticed how so many people don't even read longer posts- so books are out of the question.
