Comment on Is video media easier to understand than books?

Videos can be misleading, unhelpful, and fail to paint the whole picture. Look no further than the society we live in today, where loads of fake videos get pumped out and then we need written articles to explain all the things wrong with the video.
Obviously fake info can be written down too, but we have a much bigger problem with fake videos.

Not sure if “Tik Tok” really represent’s “video media”.
That’s like saying “tweets” are “writings”.

Are we only comparing the best of the best in each? Because both can be great in their best form.
But if I had to pick one and lose the other, for the good of society, I can’t imagine the videos are helping more than the written word is helping.
