    The problem for me is the video with no synopsis part. I’m sitting in my living room having breakfast, it’s very early, my gf is sleeping next door, I’m not watching a video with sound right now. Later I’ll be at work, I’m not watching a video with sound with my co workers all around me during break. The earliest I may realistically give a video a watch is tonight after dinner, and by then I’ll have forgotten about it. Video posts are basically dead space in my feed unless it’s something ground breaking that I may save for later (I still haven’t gotten around to watching that Gamer’s Nexus LG TV story).

      That makes a lot of sense. I’m the same way and still haven’t watched the video in this post because of it 😂 But would you downvote it for that? When I see a post with many downvotes it makes me think there’s something wrong with the content (in this case the video). I think that’s a shame if it is just a case of “this post didn’t cater to my preferences”.

      Edit: The last sentence is too antagonistic. I didn’t mean it that way. Hopefully you catch my drift

        Well, i usually don’t downvote them, but I can see people doing it because of that. In a lot of cases it really wouldn’t hurt to add the main point as text, especially for the more clickbaity titles.
