> Without naming names, some of those convey less information in 2-3 hours of video than some short form creators do in 2-3 minutes.

Even if you have a 3-minute video that yammers off back-to-back facts to maximize info density, it's still low value because you've only spent 3 minutes with those facts.

There's nothing a 3-minute video can do to compete with a good video 2-3 hour video due to the limitations of the medium.

I would wager a 2-3 hour video of something you find worthless, like celebrity gossip, is preferable to the same thing in TikTok form because at least the longer video challenged you with following a narrative of some length.

When you fill your time with TikTok videos, you're basically regressing to the mental activation normally relegated to babies and toddlers. I think it's fair to demand a little more aspiration of ourselves.
