Please put a brief recap of what the Video says

[edhopper]

I am not watching a 10 or 20 minute video about some crucial info we all MUST KNOW!!!

If it so vital, you can but a brief few sentences about the upshot.

Thank you.

[Oopsie Daisy]

1. It is tiresome, isn't it?

[edhopper]

3. They could at least say it's a video with no written info

so I could ignore it.

[WhiteTara]

2. I bypass those

[Oopsie Daisy]

6. I make use of DU's ignore and hide-thread functions...

... when I see patterns or when I know it's something of little interest.

[kavotheclown]

9. Yes to the Ignore button!

I LOVE the Ignore feature! So many trash creators are eliminated from the master thread list.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Don't forget get the Trash function! So convenient! 👍

[Silent Type]

4. Most of podcasters aren't worth watching or reading. But at least reading is more efficient.

[Amaryllis]

5. +1000

[Orrex]

7. Holy shit 1000x this

If I had a nickel for every time Trump's been "rocked" or "stunned" or "shocked" or "panicked" or "melting down" when in fact he's scarcely even a little perturbed, well, I'd have a tidy sum.

The only vids I watch on DU are very short and are usually accompanied by a concise description a la "man trips over duck."

I'm just about certain that I haven't missed anything.

[Amaryllis]

15. You missed BOMBSHELL!!

[3Hotdogs]

19. or china' about to go in the shitter, or Putin's reign is/ sorry was over last week, or MTG opened her mouth.

I don't need to watch 15 minutes of some dude or dudette bloviating about something that could be summed up in two sentences.

8. I immediately close ALL video threads

I do not want to watch someones opinion.

[FadedMullet]

10. Ed - I'd be in favor of a cautionary note suggesting that before gets to post anything.

[Hekate]

11. Thx Ed. I don't even bother anymore bcs they're so formulaic and repetitive.

[mcar]

12. This +1000!

[Joinfortmill]

13. Well, ok, then.

[lamp_shade]

14. Thank YOU, Ed.

[RockCreek]

16. thank you x 1000! and k and r.

[JoseBalow]

17. I automatically SKIP all VIDEOS with ALL-CAPS words in the TITLE

CHECKMATE again, clickbait!!1!

[flvegan]

20. I wish you luck with this campaign. n/t

[TygrBright]

21. Even better - post a transcript if available. n/t

[SheltieLover]

23. This!

[Raine]

22. Agree. I don't watch any videos. I pass them by or if I open the post

I close it up right away. I don't have time to watch some video that doesn't explain what the point of it is.

[MuseRider]

30. Same.

If I wanted to listen to people talk, get upset, make points both good and bad (or not make points) I would always choose to listen without the distracting and annoying colors etc. It just annoys me but then I am of the old, easily annoyed group. I do not like yelling over a serious discussion.

I do enjoy some of them when provided with at least some serious attitude from a serious journalist.

I think for me the presentation is a big part of the problem.

I have become an old lady and I know that my world is old and stale but someone asked so there it is.

Go on with yourselves, we can get over it surely while you move on but we do not have to like it and we WILL complain!

[obamanut2012]

24. Agree

[hunter]

25. I have zero tolerance for news and opinion video.

A "brief recap" isn't going to change that.

[brush]

26. Agreed. The ones from Blue Sky are the worst as it's interface takes up the whole screen...

tryng to get one to sigh up. Gettng the video is not easy so I've stopped bothering.

[GusBob]

27. I see any video I scroll on

Poster keeps posting them with any convo, gets blocked

[MineralMan]

28. Sadly, that's a lost cause.

It's so easy to just post the video, and you don't have to think up something to say or struggle to type on your phone's virtual keyboard. It's just easier, see.

So, what's your problem?

[Polly Hennessey]

29. I like 🐈‍⬛ catbyte's videos. I know they are about animals and they tend to be short.

Always make me smile.
