    Well, there are definitely parts of Chinese history Americans know more about.

    Also, what “we”? The Americans using short form media aren’t exactly the brightest examples in the first place.

      What makes you say that? From my recent experiences with short form media I’d say there are plenty of bright people involved. There’s tons of actual good STEM/Maker/DIY/Educational/History content and the medium lends itself well to quick community building

      I’m not sure. While it’s not for me, I know some rather bright individuals that enjoy the format.

      I mostly hate that it’s such an advertising industry.
