While I'm not discounting the problems you have layed out in your post, every one of them is less "People don't like to read anything anymore" and more the internets very own social media driven debate culture where only the 1 - 5 line zingers count anymore.
Everyone on reddit could read those paragraphs, because they all watch 3 hour video game essays and read an entire sunday of convoluted warhammer lore. They tell you it's too much text because the primary objective of reddit or any social media is not to engage in thoughtful discussions, it is to own the other person.
And as humans are prone to do things efficiently, why bother reading any post if "lol too long" (or any number of FALLACY!1!!) post gets the same attention.
You can still debate with people, even in text form. Social Media is not the place to do it. Social Media is where you slam dunk chuds. Hate the Player and the Game, for obvious reasons, just don't expect the Game to function according to rules that you'll never push through.
This is not a comment on the greater effects of social media on society.
