I agree that I am not a fan of this format, but the original comment implied skepticism about the information because of the format, rather than merely expressing discontent with the format.
I totally disagree with your point. Yasmine resulted in a lot of dialogue on this topic. Perhaps people learned things, perhaps people became more educated. Why can’t Yasmine express her views in a witty interesting way? If you think she’s wrong, why not address the substance of her point?
I’m just disgusted by the culture where something “has” to have a punchline to be a relevant topic of discussion. We can’t just say, hey let’s talk about this. No, someone or something has to be demonstrated to be foolish/absurd. It prempts controversy and makes everything prefomative.
Yasmine said that?!? This changes everything. I don’t form opinions until it’s in a tweet and reposted somewhere else.
The most important part is the argument must have a punch line. I can’t do anything until I hear the punch line.
Edit:
In fact, memes themselves have lost all appeal. I can see it already, future generations will look at memes like we look at our parents joke books.

… I dont doubt the information is correct but this tweet is a useless memeified “hot take”.

I wrote it. That was your interpretation.
The exclamation was sarcasm, as if, I knew or cared who “Yasmine” was.
It’s ok to not understand something as it written but don’t tell me what I was trying to imply.
