So, this influencer named Alix Earle, who’s 25 and super popular on TikTok, just admitted in an interview that she’s never read a book. Not even one, except maybe some Dr. Seuss when she was a kid, and she laughed it off like it was nothing. People are pretty mad about it, and I get why—it’s kind of shocking when someone so famous is proud of not reading. She’s got millions of followers and made a fortune from skincare, but what’s worrying is that this shows how our generation is moving away from things like reading. We seem to care more about looks and being relatable than about learning or thinking deeply. It’s like we’re becoming a society where being smart isn’t as important as being popular online.
