Reading lots of YA is both a sign of high intelligence and genuinely beneficial and healthy. Children that read a lot probably have around 120 IQ compared to 100 IQ for children that don’t. Of course 120 IQ doesn’t guarantee being intelligent or successful, it is still quite mediocre, but it beats out being a literal retard with 100 IQ. To be an intelligent person you must read lots of books so that you can read very quickly. Reading is a prerequisite for gaining knowledge, being able to think logically, and having a sophisticated internal monologue. You cannot gain knowledge from YouTube videos and podcasts you are a retard if you do that. Reading very quickly is also a prerequisite to typing very quickly and basic computer skills which are necessary to be a proper human being.
You also need to be able to read high volumes to learn proper English grammar and vocabulary. If you cannot type or speak in proper English then you are not a proper human; you are an ape or a southerner that speaks zero languages. 70% of people people speak like “yo wassup imma be like aint nothin”.
Fake obstructionist office jobs are a real thing, but they require far more intelligence than blue collar work because at least the email bureaucrat needs to be sentient and capable of communication beyond grunting, as well as using a computer. You cannot blame high IQ people for being forced into unproductive work when every opportunity to put their superior IQ to use is barred by the government, unions, and incompetent executives.
High IQ people are beneficial to society in ways that go beyond economic productivity, such as being pleasant to be around, being able to have a conversation in English, being beautiful, having high IQ children, and creating and maintaining the world of philosophy. I will always side with high IQ people over subhuman tradies.

One more thing: Often just relaxing and doing what feels good is the healthiest thing for you, as long as it is not an addiction or trauma-induced compulsion. YA stories are designed to be entertaining to children and that is a very healthy and wholesome thing. Reading fiction is much healthier for your brain than reading nonfiction because 1. fiction is less boring and causes you less stress and 2. fiction is mostly true while nonfiction is overwhelmingly false. Reading high volumes of nonfiction will cause you to become a gigantic narcissistic fagot who is balding and wrong about everything like logo or tinkzorg or yeerk p. YA does not fill your brain with leftist dogshit and cognitive dissonance so children who read lots of YA have a much better chance of growing up to be pleasant people.
