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've given up reading every word these days. I don't have the time or capacity.
After skimming I'll either go back and read something thoroughly, or move on to the next thing. 99% of it will be forgotten within the hour anyways.
However I won't comment (and I try not to pass on) on anything I haven't read thoroughly.
If I'm going to read every word (like a critical acclaimed book or article) I'm going to listen to it on my commute/wind down time.
Have you tried Axios? Their model breaks down into a front page of headline, photo, caption, and under a minute of reading. There is then a link to a short article that is geared towards being easy to skim.
I haven't really geared myself towards any individual outlet. I try the BBC now and then, but it seems my addled mind requires a congregator
