You can’t replace novels and poetry

You can't replicate the experience of reading the poetry, the words used, the flow of the poem and rhyming (if there is rhyming) is unique to the art. Something like a Shakespearean sonnet is unique in poetry in comparison with Tv and movies. Plenty of films fail to capture the feel and story of a novel. Reading is an active form of a hobby and forces you to focus on the words, themes, structure etc. of the text, gain pleasure from the clever usage of words as well as the characters and the story they are part of. So no writing is not worthless, dying? Not sure because people still buy books fiction or no fiction. Poetry is far less popular than for example during the Romantic Period or Victorian Period but some people still have an interest in it(like me and the people on this site). Hell I’m part of a poetry club at my uni, there are at least 15 to 20 people which is a lot people for clubs at my uni. So there is still active interest in writing from what I have seen in my life.
