I’m not going to watch a click bait title.
I'm wondering if there should be a guideline about this on this comm at the very least, and maybe on hexbear in general. Some sort of requirement for a minimal description or commentary. Maybe timestamps for excessively long videos so that people can skip to the relevant part.
I don't want to name names, I'm not interested in drama. But there's an awful lot posting of videos by a few very specific people who just use the original video's title and never provide context in text form.
I've thought the exact same thing. At least have the YouTube channel in the name. At least on my end there's no thumbnail embed or anything, just a text title and the small embed thing below saying it's a YouTube video. Not a lot to go on.
I don't get thumbnails at my end either. And I fully agree on requiring the Youtube channel name to be mentioned at the least. I almost never engage with this comm because I have no idea whose metrics I'm going to be contributing to. A drop in a bucket in an ocean in a water-rich solar system to be sure. But it matters to me.
