You gave the answer yourself - TikTok style videos, short as they are, aren't as easy to skim through as microblogging sites.

Not quite, I think. Bite sized videos provide the illusion of promise that one won't miss any information, whereas I would think that promise isn't there when skimming over text.
you can get really good at skimming massive amounts of text such that you don’t miss anything, or at least feel like you didn’t miss anything, but most UI on bite size video platforms simply can’t provide that kind of experience very well.
