IF YOU QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA, WILL YOU READ MORE BOOKS?

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Quitting social media may free time, but it won't automatically make people read more books. Social platforms shape reading habits by connecting users with tailored content. It fosters focused exploration and helps discover niche interests. Reddit, TikTok, and Substack can expose readers to books they wouldn't otherwise find, though they may also reinforce filter bubbles. While in-person book clubs offer richer intellectual engagement, social media enables personalized learning, making the effects on literacy complex and nuanced.
