I've tried to debate with college-educated people who would cite TikTok videos as their sources. The shallowness of their source material is only exceeded by their certainty of rectitude.

This is partly because access to university education has widened tremendously. Modern academic research is not really TikTok-based.

I think the implication isn't that it's an aspect of academia but just that college graduates of all people should know to do better.

Yup. A college educated person should know better than to cite TikTok as their authoritative source.
