Yup, that's the downside of modern day internet culture; even as a software developer, my main and most used skills are reading and writing. And with reading, since there's so much of it people end up skim reading / skipping.

Once upon a time I was on an internet forum and I would read each and every post. Nowadays, if it's longer than a paragraph long and not by someone I care about, I just glaze over - I can't be bothered anymore. Mind you, having less time for that kinda thing also doesn't help.
