Without the context or summary finding info is going to be a crap shoot and potentially a waste of time. Meanwhile the person posting the vid, who has the context, could simply provide some of that in non-video form. Even just a one line summary.
We're on !videos@lemmy.world , not world news or something. If you wanted articles, don't go to a video community. Simple as.
Maybe but context is useful regardless. Improved posting standards just makes for a better community.
Also this post popped up in all feed so it's not like you're an isolated little pocket.
