Lately I've been seeing many more people reading books in public.

Yesterday, 5 books on one bus.

Newspapers and magazines stay losing. Zero zero.

EBook readers occasional.

Is it some performative fad?

I think its a mix of several things. Mostly that you spend an hour on the internet and feel worse afterwards. The internet used to be something you looked forward to using

    Yeah, there's a reason Hexbear is basically 90% of my internet usage these days, this is the only place I know that feels like the "old internet"

    I don't think it's like the old internet. It's just a good part of the new internet. There was never anyplace like this before.
