Yes they did - where do you think Martin Luther composed his 95 theses?

He didn't target poor, uneducated masses. He targeted the most educated people in his society, the clerics of the Catholic church.

He translated the new testament from Greek to German. That helped the poor more than anybody else.

And how many people could read his 95 Thesis in that era again?
