Oh, you polled all their ages?

  > Most of those responding aren't old enough to have experience of pre-web real books... [flagged] You aren't old enough to have experienced the pre-printing-press real books. Nowadays they just print everything that comes to their filthy minds, regardless of the content or even position of the author in our society. Just a machine printing away inked paper. Oh, how I miss the good old days when you could feel the woodblock pressure immortalized against the pulp, that subtle off-white coloring; the tasteful thickness of it.

    >You aren't old enough to have experienced the pre-printing-press real books That's true. Not sure how it's a counter-argument though. Pre-printing press books were great as well, and even more important (regarding historical importance, and in terms of the price they'd fetch at an auction today) than printing-press books. And it would also be true that having no direct experience of them, I'd be not very qualified to compare them to the printing-press books. Which is my point exactly.

      It's not a counter-argument. I'm making fun of you. Something something beat a river into submission. Go belittle humanity's distribution of knowledge and information elsewhere, prick.

          Ugh, you're actually right. Sorry for being a jerk to someone who just wanted to share his ideas.

  No, I know Reddit's demographics in general, plus how few younger people read books regularly in the US even in the 90s and 80s, never mind in 2014. https://www.techjunkie.com/demographics-reddit/ https://www.techjunkie.com/demographics-reddit/ Any other passive-aggressive question?
