What a bummer, video is no way to absorb important knowledge, whether that's TV or TikTok.

I think there are great educational stuff you can learn from TV, TikTok and YouTube.

I’m a bit more sad that there is less passive exercise for discourse though.

Perhaps our generation(s) had the greatest opportunity for learning discourse and debate and that will be lost as we progress.

Why not? I don't necessarily disagree, but on the other hand oral history has been effective for 95% of human history.

Putting a friendly face on information can improve retention substantially. I don't see reading being a universally better way to learn.

nah, video is absolutely useful for some things, such as tutorials. i was able to repair my car's mirror very easily using a video guide whereas a written guide likely would have been incomprehensible when describing how to remove the door paneling
