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.

That may be more of a issue that affects the youth and/or "terminally" online, rather then those who are identified as "woke". Also when you talk about people overusing "isms", I struggle to see how someone could achieve that.

Spend a few mins on tiktok. Wait until till you find a rage bait video and open the comments. You'll see it left and right. It's REALLY bad during election times. I mostly stay off tiktok during those times as I could care less about politics and people bringing none related things into politics just to spark more fire for no reason.
