People today don't read, they skim. If the text is too long, they won't even do that. Nevertheless, I'm surprised text hasn't completely died in favor of TikTok

People today don't read, they skim. If the text is too long, they won't even do that. Nevertheless, I'm surprised text hasn't completely died in favor of TikTok style videos, butaybe we are still on our way to that.
- sundarurfriend 1y ago> I'm surprised text hasn't completely died in favor of TikTok style videos You gave the answer yourself - TikTok style videos, short as they are, aren't as easy to skim through as microblogging sites.
- ravenstine 1y agoNot 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.
- deadbabe 1y agoyou 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.
