My field of study and work leads me to read large amounts of nonfiction. I'd say I'm far above-averagely educated when it comes to the humanities, and I have stopped reading published fiction years ago. Mindless fanfic about Captain America kissing his long-lost boyfriend though? Yes please! I know what emotional buttons I like having pushed and I seek that out.
Not everyone who doesn't read published fiction does it because they're an idiot who doesn't know better. I know I've grown tired of literature. Still get excited about nonfiction and philosophical works, sometimes poetry, but novels and plots and settings? It's all been done, and done better. I'm only interested in fiction for my emotional fix, and that's easiest with fanfic - it's accessible, free, gets to the point. I'm pretty sure none of this strips me of my education and life experience.

This. I'm a doctor. I've had plenty of reading to do in my time, and plenty more on the way, all of it interesting, none of it particularly fun. When I want my horizons broadened I talk to people, or go see a performance, or try a new cuisine, or travel. When I read, it's to keep from going batshit. The rest of my life still counts even if all I read for months at a time is Sephiroth boning Zack.

Yep. As a child, I read everything I could get my hands on. I've easily read well over a thousand books by now, and... I'm bored with it. The more fiction you read, the more you start to realize (like you said) that it's all been done before, and it's really just the same plots and characters and tropes pasted together in different ways.
