Upton Sinclair wrote an expose on how manipulated American factory workers were and how socialism was the answer. And everyone’s takeaway was just, “ew they’re putting rats in our food”. Which, yeah that sucks, but is kinda missing the bigger picture.

I don't think bad books can ruin the activity of reading. Because you can put them down and grab good books.
I think you just can't be bothered to read anymore because your attention span got nuked by TV and the internet.
