They had other serious forms of learning. Aristotle was schooled in Plato's school. The Pythagoreans had their own school. The Muslims and the Thomists studied in universities. People took it seriously.
It is obviously not the concept of a book, it is the seriousness. Books are serious, the internet isn't serious. Wikipedia isn't serious. Harvard U Press is serious (whatever you think of Harvard, I don't like them, but it is serious). Science is serious. The internet is not an rigorous learning community, some websites are good for philosophy, but it is not the same as reading books.
If you think so, it is because you don't know very much about philosophy (but don't care if you are making mistakes about the most serious issues in life). Well, whatever, pride comes before destruction. You are warned.
