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.

I used to work help desk. Believe me, I know people can't comprehend simple shit anymore.

I worked help desk 20+ years ago, and it wasn't different then.

I think what we're seeing is simply more people who would have avoided tech now being forced to use it - badly, I might add.
