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.
A lot of sites with YouTube embedding have rules about posting videos where you have to comment about the video and why people should watch. I don't click any of the videos on hexbear or lemmy because I'm not going to sit down for 20 minutes to watch something by someone I don't know.
I don't think people need to write more than a sentence or two and I wouldn't expect there to be anything on stuff like music or 10 second comedy sketches. But holy hell could we use something for video essays and political commentary.
