Do any of you actually watch the videos attached on this kind of thing? I mean I've noticed this lately, but most people seem to just go off of the title, which often at times is nothing more than a word for word copy of a twitter post designed for clicks and engagement.
It's literally just a moronic tech bro, doing the typical tech bro ted talk thing claiming that whatever the "current thing" in the tech bro space will "revolutionize the world" in some ass backwards way that nine times out of ten, never happens because it was just hype.
If you ever actually even LOOK at statistics you'll find something odd with this specific topic. In the US at least, Book printing and sales have been GROWING for the past several decades. It's one of the few uses for physical paper keeping the paper industry alive. Yes less people physical write large amounts, but that's because typing instead of physically writing with pen and paper is much more convenient, uniform, and faster. It's another form of writing.
Physical books aren't dying, they've been growing for decades now. This is just another tech bro dumbass trying to justify his retarded beliefs without any kind of substance. They do this ALL the time.
Also ereaders (Kindle, Kobo, Boox, etc) are very popular right now. Authors can now easily publish independently. I see people wanting to step back from streaming and short-blurbs of the internet to what books have to offer.

Darn good comment, cathole.
If I see it's a Ted Talk, I automatically think hype of the current thing, so no I didn't watch it. Thanks for confirming my knee-jerk reaction!
