This absolutely happens to me as well, though the media I consume online is probably 98% written word (excluding music, which I also devoured as a youth and continue to). I don't read less as a result, -just fewer books and more short-form. I do believe the quality of what I read overall has declined significantly, although to be fair, I could go months reading books years ago before finding one that was transformative and blew me away. I may be looking back with rose tinted glasses to some degree.
