It's nonsense. Cinema admissions are down a bit from before covid but they are still more than double the low point in the 80s. Home cinema has been a factor throughout that period.
People like going out!

Self-fulfilling reporting.
‘The government was facing increasing questions* last night…’

*questions from us. Me and Bob, and a few others, sitting around in the office. Many questions.

His cunning trick is to do some interviews where the subject comes off well, and the narcissists all think they’ll surely be one of those.

I have always treated my books with this sort of care and I don’t apologise for it. Is it a fetish, or some sort of deep personality flaw? I don’t care - they’re my books, I’ll do as I please!

According to OED ‘pronunciation with ‘short’ i ( /ɪ/ ) is original (and is still usual in senses relating to type)’. ‘Long primer’ and ‘great primer’ are used in typography, apparently.
Historically ‘primmer’ and ‘prymmer’ are alternate spellings.
I have never heard anyone say ‘primmer’ of course.
