Yes different social platforms have put a stunt on good writing and the world tends to ” put untalented things on a higher platform and leave true talent in the dust” - Caleb Pinnow (paraphrased). However I do not think social platforms will ever completely destroy good writing. It will always remain for as long as earth.
