      why are you coming up with these categories? “print is dead” doesn’t mean “because there’s print 2.0 now”

      —radio is dead
      —excuse me, but internet radio is nothing compared to am stations
      —yeah, obviously people who don’t listen to radio don’t want to listen to radio with extra steps
      —what other forms of radio has beaten radio?

      what are you even

        I am trying to understand what’s the argument behind your statement. I mean, there are more books being published than ever and there are more readers than ever. So, I fail to imagine how are books dead. That’s why I am asking these questions.

          The argument is that no one reads books anymore. Most media consumed today is in modern video and audio formats like YouTube and podcasts. You shouldn’t compare paper books to ebooks, you should compare them to views on YouTube.
