Posts linking videos suck, most suckiest with no description.

Ain’t got time to waste watching a vid to determine if the info is needed.

Fuck TikTok, YouTube and lazy ass video links

I don’t mind if it’s a good video but yeah, there needs to be a description explaining what the video is about (doubly so for the shit with clickbait titles)

Unless its a community for video links, I 100% agree. It's the link aggregate equivalent to getting a phone call with no warning.

I feel that is a popular opinion. Many people are unhappy with a top level comment or reply that is just a bare link to a video, except where it's a reply to a comment or post asking for a for it

You have made 3 posts including this one.

One of them was a video with no description.

Be the change you want to see.

I’ve made 8 posts..and after looking you’re correct I did link a few of the Lego Iran ones at the start of the war.

Still it’s trash. Won’t do that again

Create a video summary and add it to your posts. I do that when I post a video

This is why I immensely respect Stefan from CNC Kitchen, because in addition to his long winded and detailed Youtube videos on the topic at hand he has a companion equally long winded and detailed written article on his website with exactly the same data and content for every single one of them. So if you'd rather not have to watch the entire video or try to scrub through the timeline to get to the information you want, you can get it from the article instead.
