The strange thing is there isn't that same stigma about books even
though there are lots of books which are complete trash. You get the
same thing with watching 'too much' TV but being a bookworm is
considered a positive.

Every time somone talks negatively about screen time and children I think
of all the time I spent as a child with my nose in book.  It's not obvious
to me that it was really any better.  Like watching TV or YouTube videos
reading books is completely passive.  At least with some screen time
activities, like playing video games, it requires some actual thought.

It was also phyiscally harmful.  My parents used to yell at me for sitting
too close to the TV, but it was reading all those books that damaged my
eyes, leaving me me with pretty bad near-sightedness.
