It's funny that they think there's any sort of easy way to get from a TikTok to an article.

Ugh. Hate that so much info is forcing search results to lead with video results because adspace. 20 minute video on how to fold a towel when a single image with a few lines of text would do.

You're supposed to watch tiktoks at 2x.

I don’t know a single millennial that uses TikTok. This is such a weird generalization.

Ehh some articles are full of useless fluff with like a single paragraph worth of info that I actually need, but I have to read from the start to figure it out, at least on the video I can jump at different points to quickly find where the useful info is

Nobody is saying or implying videos are a more efficient way to consume information than reading... it's not this or that it's two different forms of media. Absolutely dumb tweet.
