This is a YouTube video titled "The New Era of Digital Reading" containing a conversation between two speakers discussing changes in reading habits, focusing on platforms like Wattpad and its impact on young readers and digital fiction. The discussion touches on the quality of writing and the influence of international acquisitions.
I've seen some interesting stats, like, all over the board where it's like, yes, but a lot of the reading experience has changed. Like, have you heard of Wattpad?
Yeah.
Which is like the fiction. It's also very like romance driven and stuff. But Wattpad is nuts because it's a lot of really young people reading a ton. But it's really low quality writing. But because it's genre specific and it's digital and it's like a different medium.
It was also acquired by a South Korean company, so I imagine a bunch of the readers are from Asia.
