This argument applies to all forms of media. As the barrier to entry to create plummets, there's going to be an insane amount of noise, even if there's tons of good stuff around. If you don't need a publisher's/editor's approval, no one is going to tell you your work is not worth distributing. But "not reading" is click bait. The author is just being more selective in how they spend their time, since they can only afford to consume an increasingly narrow sliver. But you are seriously missing out if you elect to ignore the (good) stuff that will last, like (IMO) GEB and Infinite Jest.
