      Children born after 2008 dont read books, all they do is charge they phone, watch tiktok, watch youtube and watch twitch

      But more seriously either they're reading on their phones (completely possible), or theyre just reading less

      No but it's not as bad as you might think

      Also smut/erotica is becoming really popular if that counts

          I would rather my kids read Hermione or gay Dumbledore smut than Harry Potter tbh

      From my perspective kids seem to read a shitload of books—far more than adults, honestly.

        YA fiction is doing really well

          Although this is also because adults read a ton of it.

      My sisters are really into this series about a bunch of dragons, so I think the answer is "about as many as were reading books before".
