I obsessively read longform articles, non-fiction and technical books up until around 2015/2016. Overall down similar to you, probably closer to 75%. I find the change disconcerting and upsetting actually yet I don't do much to address it. It's a strange one for me.

no fiction. nor much narrative non-fiction, find a lot of it is cloying. more research, medical anthropology, philosophy of science. less current affairs (catch up via podcasts). + whatever genre is The Road to Unfreedom, The Counterrevolution, Seeing LIke a State, etc

For the first two years of the “weirding” I dramatically upticked my daily news as I thought I was being a responsible citizen staying informed. Didn’t last.

Same here. News intake went up after 2016, for the past year or two, I seek out very little (and it finds me anyways). I've seen several "extremely online" people make the same move.
