    Something tells me that if it weren’t for teenagers who have to read books for Polish classes, that number would be even higher.

    Slightly off-topic, but one thing that honestly discourages me from trying new books is the absurd number of books being written with AI that the author didn’t give a damn about, and you don’t want to dedicate your time to reading a book that even the author didn’t bother to write. This limits you to choosing only the most popular books, taking away the nice feeling of trying something modern and different.

  3. Its difficult to assess what this truly means, like if you’re not dinosaur you understand that you can read *a lot* of stuff today without ever grabbing book.

    You can spend countless hours on Wikipedia or websites that are much more focused on any given subject and get a lot of knowledge.

    You can listen to podcasts, watch interviews, tons of materials that go from silly to very competent etc.

  4. From the article:

    >The study was conducted using face-to-face interviews on a representative sample of 2,005 people aged 15 and covers all forms of reading, regardless of format or source.

    2k people isn’t even a representative sample, this study is bullshit at best.

    >Majority of Poles did not pick up a single book in 2025

    Yeah, majority of random 2 thousand people XD

  5. Say thanks to Polish lessons where people are forced in reading utterly boring books. And they start to believe every book is like this. I must admit that there was a time when I thought I didn’t like reading… I had to find correct books to understand how long I was fooled.

  6. We live in a world of emotions – reading book doesn’t go e you immediate dopamine.
