I come to DU to read and discuss and even on a good day, I don't have time to watch video after video, though the option is nice. Could we please emphasize doing so (reading and discussing) again?

The video is ten seconds of content youve probably already SEEN in a five minute wrapper of LAME commentary with a clickbait headline.
I had someone tell me that posting a summary ruins the artistic effect of the tension caused by the clickbait headline and gives away the point. As if that is not the purpose of communication.
