In my humble opinion, the Technology community should only contain text news/articles or even news pictures.
I simply think that tech videos does not belong to this community, as there is already a videos community which would be more suitable for this.
What does the mods think about this?
It’s a good idea in principle but headlines are often not in the viewer’s interest. The purpose is to get you to watch the video, not to actually tell you what’s in the video.
Unfortunately there’s lots of good videos with Clickbait titles.
There’s a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too. A lot of the articles I’m interested reading are either clickbate/ragebait or way out of context or just completely false.
Absolutely. That’s why it’s still good practice to include some kind of comment about the article in the post if the content isn’t clearly identified by the headline.
Exactly. I don’t post often, but when I do, I include a short summary, as well as a couple questions to spark discussion.
The headline here does not need to be the same as the headline in the article. Other communities have rules not to editorialize headlines, this community does not. “Review of tech gadget X by outlet Y” is a perfectly fine headline here.
Much faster to skim the contents of an article than a video.
There is no rule here to copy the video title into the submission headline. The submission here could be titled “PlayStation 5 Pro benchmarks by Digital Foundry”, no matter how DF names the video on YouTube. Demanding summaries of videos that can easily be longer than 45 minutes is just not reasonable at all.
