The Biggest Frustration You've Faced as a Reader in Nigeria?

Has anyone noticed that the "boring stuff" these days are things that add value and improve the quality of life?🤔
Reading a book, writing or journaling, reflective thinking, listening quietly and having sound conversations, name it.
Which of these have you engaged recently?
You use ai to read books and assimilate what you’re reading. You watch 5 movies in 2 hours because you watch these movies on 2x speed. Art and literature shouldn’t be engaged in such manner. You’re killing your creative and thinking ability and capacity. Please stop it.
#booktwitter HELP!
