The quality of writing has absolutely deteriorated, unfortunately. It’s been on a decline for at least 20 years and there are studies about it from 2007 onwards that you can read online. The decline rapidly increased with the rise of social media but SM is likely only one factor. Self publishing is less of a culprit than many in academia like to claim; the decline first appeared in works from major publishers.

Got any links, nonny? This is pretty interesting to me, as an ex-bookseller and someone who's got the same problem as the OP. I put it down to increasing age, decreasing mental concentration and general illness - but if writing quality has something to do with it, well, that's encouraging, in a way.

I second a request for links, especially because I'd like to see what datasets they're working with. Part of me worries that the conclusions in those studies reached may have unintended consequences for writers in various marginalized demographics.

This genuinely surprises me and I'd be interested to see how many books/how many genres etc were involved in the data set, because as someone who also reads a lot of 'older' books (and I am talking about anywhere from 1800s to 1980s as older), I still see the same amount of good vs bad/like vs dislike when I read things, but I am also not a study and my tastes are not everyone's tastes lol.
