Short video is a terrible medium.
I am already on the fence regarding long videos. They are a rarely paying off time investment next to reading the equivalent article.
Short videos are an immediate no from me. It’s never worth the investment. Realistically if it could be written in a script fitting a TikTok video it’s not going to go deeply into anything.
- ycombigator 4y agoDepends. If you are trying to show a repeatable process, whether that's just DIY or microbiology, a video is dramatically better than an article.
- newswasboring 4y agoI will have to completely disagree on this one. The amount of excel I've learnt from my TikTok fyp is genuinely unprecedented in my life. It feels like passive learning because they appear between my other interests like history or comedy. Specially stuff like archeology is specially condusive to this format.
- UncleMeat 4y agoShort video is a different medium. Like it or not, TikTok is encouraging creation of new culture via its particular creation tools.

- dicknuckle 4y agoI never had one in the first place so none of it makes a difference to me.
