How about if normalized not fucking linking YouTube videos for topics that seem like news?
I will read an article but I'm not going to click through and watch some random ass length video from some random ass "content creator" who probably has a worthless opinion to begin with.
Amen. I don’t even want to watch a news video over an article let alone some rando 18min YouTube video.
100%
Pure garbage... Won't even usually click it if I notice.
Also I'm not going to always be in a position where I can just have my phone start playing video with audio. And I'm not going to get my headphones out of my bag just so I can listen to a video that I probably am not actually that interested in.
I wish people would just post synopses.
Yup. I'm subbed to the handful I find worthwhile, so just give me text for the rest.
