I have seen many people these days addicted to Tiktok, youtube shorts, or Instagram reels. Myself included, I feel like not many people read books these days. I for one rarely read normal books, but I do read a lot of manga and webtoons. My question do you consider them as reading?

I've never used Tiktok or YT shorts. I did go down the Instagram rabbit hole for a while but I deleted my account when I realized I was spending hours on it. I've gone back to reading and writing as much as possible. It was kinda hard to re-learn my reading habit. That said, I do read several webcomics and have tons of comic books in .cbz and .cbr format that I've been reading through. I would consider it reading but on the lighter side since I don't have to use my brain to figure out what the characters and scenes look like.
