So long as it's not behind a paywall, or the "article" is just a literal transcription of a video.
When I'm looking at my phone, I want the original text so I can ~~read~~ skim it myself.
When I'm not looking at my phone, I want the video so I can continue not looking at my phone.

I don’t know a single millennial that uses TikTok. This is such a weird generalization.
irl i know one or two millennials who use it, and like ten X'ers. this is projection.
