For those who didn’t grow up reading and spent years doom-scrolling social media, becoming a good enough reader with decent comprehension takes real effort. You have to accept rereading, losing focus, and the frustration that comes with it. But after about 200 hours of reading opinion pieces over the course of a year, it has now become enjoyable and even addictive, offering deeper insights into life. Social media is now empty calories. I get why most people don’t read. Reading is a skill and like any other you need to actively develop that skill. Scrolling social media takes no effort.
