It is not simple, but honestly in this day and age of extremely swiftly-consumed content that is often made to be as concise as possible, books bring a deeper, more long-form perspective on many things where other media can't (or at least very rarely) do the same.
But of course it also depends what books you're reading or what other media you're consuming. TikTok vs books is probably clear cut but what about like educational YouTube or something? Not as simple.
