I don't think that really compares. The main way to use social media - at least to my observation - seems to be looking often for short intervals. That would be the opposite of binge reading as it is very superficial, always in the background and seldom with a real focus on it.

Still, people are reading and consuming more information than any time in history. When the alternative is probably no information rather than some.

The fact it's not great information vs what you might find in a well-thought out book is a different question.

The information density is typically much higher though.
