Do people find this with other forms of media? Like film studies students not being able to enjoy films

Speaking as someone who teaches literature and media students and who taught drama at university for years.

You'd be depressed by how many don't read/watch films/go to plays. It's a really weird phenomenon

In some ways, I suppose, it works out better to be an autodidact. Not likely to be burnt out, perhaps

I mightn't have been clear in my post. It's not that they don't read or watch for pleasure it's that they don't at all.

I once had a woman of 20 come up to me in 2nd year of a media course, in a module about films, telling me she has never watched a film!
