I have seen many people these days addicted to Tiktok, youtube shorts, or Instagram reels. Myself included, I feel like not many people read books these days. I for one rarely read normal books, but I do read a lot of manga and webtoons. My question do you consider them as reading?

I'm going to answer with "无". In this context meaning that I think the question…

My question do you consider them as reading?

…is badly formulated and needs to be recast.

My suggestion for recasting your question is: "Do I care what other people consider to be reading?"

Do you derive pleasure from reading them? Does this pleasure change if other people don't consider it reading? I submit the answers to these questions should be "yes" (otherwise why do it?) and "no" (because other people's opinions are relevant largely to their own life only) respectively.

Enjoy what you read, however and whenever you find time to. Life has few enough opportunities for joy these days. Don't look for more reasons to have less of it.
