Yea.. like it’s a 20 min video total. it’s shorter then a average 30min tv show episode without commercials

Sure, but it's a 20 minute video, ˜40-50% of which is arguably unnecessary: it could have been a kick-ass 10 minute tightly-edited informative video. It's not about a short attention span - it's about the value of the time spent.

Those tightly compressed videos are not "kick-ass" at all. They're high-pitched and annoying.

That’s your perspective- I hate tictok videos because they are just so ungodly short and compressed to the point of being in enjoyable - I don’t care how much information they convey. I enjoy longer form videos that indulge, it’s a better production and more enjoyable

Like your argument boils down to why watch planet earth when you could look at a few photos and read the wiki

It’s not just about conveying information here
