This is an important point, particularly with Meta who fudged (aka lied) their numbers on how much response video was getting. They essentially created the conditions for video only via fake data and then, when it was too late and the truth was revealed, just shrugged. The damage was done and journalists, and any semblance of the truth or accountability, went out the window. Zuckerberg and the like have been fascists from the start and staunchly believe that they are smarter than everyone.
Young people don’t read. Tik tok brain rot. News from brief video clips is not as informative, people lack context, critical thinking skills. Literacy goes down, misinformation goes up -> get the Trumps of the world -> democracy dies.

Remember: social media wanted a strong pivot to video for no other reason than that they could charge more for video ads.

Zuckerberg sure isn't smart. He's very unintelligent. He's merely cunning and greedy, like all billionaires.
