      Chucking a comment on your post with a one-sentence summary of what the video is about would go a long way towards stopping these kinds of grumbles.

      All I’ve got to go on at the moment is the usual YouTube clickbait thumbnail with obligatory reaction face and let’s face it, that’s not much incentive to click through.

        So don’t click through. You know how many posts I scroll past a day? The internet wasn’t made for me. Hell, what i click on one day doesn’t reflect on what I’ll click on the next. If something grabs me it grabs me, if not I scroll on by.

          Good for you, you’re really rocking this whole internets thing! 👍

          Meanwhile, if you’re not willing or interested enough to put in ONE (1) sentence in your post describing it, then I consider your contribution to Lemmy to be marginal at best.

        If your actions are dictated by majority numbers, why are you here instead of on Reddit?

          Burn! I get where you are coming from but you could have the best of both worlds and have people click through either way and also the ones that require a short abstract. Its not a lot of extra work and the internet is tired of YouTube click bait thumbs and does not want to waste time more than necessary.

          So, yeah you are absolutely right by saying take it or leave it but as I said it would make your post reach so much more people by going that extra step. And I think you want the video to be watched since you posted it here.
