I have forgotten how to read
This is the definition of clickbait.  &quot;I&#x27;ve forgotten how to read&quot; does not mean &quot;I feel like my reading habits have changed&quot; or &quot;I can not defend myself from the invasive world of social media and online content&quot;.  Valid concerns these are, but easily dealt with: reflect on your usage, uninstall the app, delete the account, make a decision and apply it to your life.  Nowhere near being unable to read.  At this moment writing this comment I&#x27;m procrastinating too, but distractions existed since time immemorial.  You decide to let them enter your life, you kick them out.<p>An example: on my free days I tend to stay up late and get up late, and when I wake up I tend to check some funny&#x2F;interesting subreddits, losing lots of time.  But knowing also that reddit is very useful at times, I remove the app from the phone, and restrict the subs I&#x27;m subscribed to to ones that are useful.  I see that I&#x27;m checking my email too much on my phone when I&#x27;m bored, I remove the mail app for some days.  All notifications except calls are silenced on my phone.  I don&#x27;t use any social media, except Reddit and HN, if we count them as such (reddit is definitely trying to be, which is annoying, but you can have your niche still).  These are my solutions.  Each and every life has many problems, and we try to fix them.  Introspect, reflect, decide, do.  No shortcuts there.
