I’d rather read an article or original post than watch a damn video.

Half the videos posted here are click bait and the other half have a 10 second clip that might be interesting, but it’s buried in 30 minutes of garbage.

No thanks.

There is a section on the home page for videos, that is where videos should be posted.

If posted elsewhere the title should indicate that it is a video, and how long it runs, so I can avoid it.

There are so many video posts of shows (Hartmann, Majority Report, TYT, etc.) that these should be given their own section, which I would also avoid.

I really DETEST the ones with the ALL CAPS i.e., So and so GETS OWNED, or SHOCKING report of HIDEOUS CORRUNPTION, etc.

it would be preferable that they say how long the video is. If I have leave for work in ten minutes, I might watch a minute and a half clip, but not a twenty minute speech.

I blocked something like three or four people, and the video problem is solved.
