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.

Nobody is saying or implying videos are a more efficient way to consume information than reading... it's not this or that it's two different forms of media. Absolutely dumb tweet.
