Debate over an article etc, all you said makes perfect sense. I think the guy is being frustrated about people who provide TikTok videos because it’s also the only source they used, inheriting all the video’s unavoidable simplifications.
There’s another aspect to it - when given a link to an article, it takes me maybe 30 seconds to scan and initially assess its quality (scientific vs popular, sources, references, consistency). When given a 15-60 min long video on YT you are forced to sample it sequentially to see what they’re talking about, and in most cases it’s waste of time.
