Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    I get this all the time. Too often I’ll even get someone trying to pick a fight with me, but if they actually read my post they would find I agree with them. Either that or they’ll bring up a point I already addressed in my post.

    There’s a certain point where if I feel someone’s not comprehending what I’m writing, continuing the conversation is a waste of my time. Even insulting them would require literacy on their end.

      It’s gotten to the point for me that I just block anyone who clearly has no reading comprehension skills.

        If i’m invested i’ll just quote the bit they missrd back at them. If not, i’ll downvote and move on.
