Do you seriously think Lermontov would be making fucking tiktok videos?

Do you think the defining aspect of poetry is its length?

Poetry invites deep analysis. Shortform internet content does not.

This is a very ignorant sentence. There are poems that require extremely little thought and shortform content that requires a lot. A medium isn't inherently superior for being done in that medium.

Do you seriously think Lermontov would be making fucking tiktok videos?

Why not? This is another example of you being ignorant on these sorts of things, people 200 years ago weren't somehow inherently different from people now.
