I have noticed that some users here don’t have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying.

So to make the users who dont have time to watch a video happy. Post a tldw summary. You dont have to write it yourself or anything. Just use chatgpt or something similar.

I have also noticed that there is better engagement and discussions when a tldw is posted.

    I’m gunna say fuck that, you don’t need to form an opinion on every piece of content you come across. If you don’t have time to watch a video past the TLDW, read an article past the headline, or confirm sources in general just go ahead and disregard the content in the first place.

    TLDR
    why post to YT at all

    Besides lack of time, a TL;DW is also neat for people who are proficient only in the written language, but not the spoken one.

    I think it is a good idea to add some text to a link, with own opinion etc. This will make clear what the video is about and if it worth watching.

      Exactly: a large chunk of the time, videos seem to simply be a way to stretch the content that could be a bullet list into a not-easily-parseable mess of content sandwiched into “Hey lovely people… Don’t forget to SMASH that like and subscribe button!”

      Sometimes videos are done well, but an annoying number of them are just attempts to monetize fluid content with a lot of padding; they’re like the recipe blogs of the video world.

    Why do you think there’s always a comment summarizing video being little 'bailty, because it is a freaking waste of time. 5sec comment summarize a 12min! If summary is engaging, I would watch the video but most of the time, I don’t.

    yes, sorry youtuber that you have invested 5000$ in this streamer gig and you copy-cat ikea-youtube-room
