Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills?

Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.

They'll read it and despite all the information being there, if it's even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it's complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

Keep up the high-quality discussions and ignore everyone who doesn’t make the effort to keep up!

Yup. This is the only way. Those people are just trying to get responses. The only way to get win is to not give them what they want.

Honestly I feel like the only reason they do this is to bring people down to their level so they can feel like they are somehow smarter, because that's a lot less effort than actually learning about the subject. Ah well.

It's true. It's a way for them to feel like they are better than someone else.
