To document and have access to the spoken word. You do a tremendous service to the forum with your clips.

I often watch the political shows at night and when I hear a good point, it’s nice to know I can access it at DU if I need to, which is fairly often. I send them around to people who are interested but might not be able to watch.

It’s pretty clear how important your clips are by the number of hearts you get at Valentine’s Day. 😊

Sharpen your search perameter. Or close caption them and read. I read more of them than I listen to. marble falls Mar 2024 #1
I do the same Diamond_Dog Mar 2024 #4
Absolutely. Also if there are any capitalized titles promising "Putin DESTROYED by ... , TFG EVISCERATED by ..., ... marble falls Mar 2024 #9
Oh yeah, I'm so tired of titles with those type descriptions. Never watch them. Silent Type Mar 2024 #32

Thanks ProfessorGAC Mar 2024 #14
Done!! Thank you. Croney Mar 2024 #15
Thanks. It seems that these front-page videos should not have such a prominent place. erronis Mar 2024 #58
This is one of those "you can't please everybody" situations I'm afraid EarlG Mar 2024 #66

Same! PortTack Mar 2024 #30
thank you et tu Mar 2024 #38
You can choose a video if you want. I will almost never choose them because most are time-wasters Ocelot II Mar 2024 #67
And the same is true for posts that are nothing more than a xitter link erronis Mar 2024 #79
I agree. I can read key excerpts of an article in less than a minute that a video takes ten minutes to work around to Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2024 #5
Anytime I post a video, I provide a caption to explain what it's about. They are available on almost all videos. Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #25
I like your videos Rhiannon...thx PortTack Mar 2024 #29
I'm not a fan of videos without captions, either. And they are provided for almost all videos, Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #31
I love your video contribution. With my work schedule, and rarely MerryBlooms Mar 2024 #37

I look for your videos every day, Rhiannon! femmedem Mar 2024 #47
It's not the first OP that I've seen like this. I guess too few that there are forums just for videos Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #51
You do and I appreciate it. I wish more posters did too. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2024 #57
Same here! We need to know what it's about without spending the time to see if we're interested Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #60
I think it's very important NJCher Mar 2024 #77
Awww! That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me here! Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #78

I largely avoid them like spam. WheelWalker Mar 2024 #12
Ditto. Heck, by the time you see a few videos, almost 1.5 hours has passed. I don't want to sit there and SWBTATTReg Mar 2024 #16
It's so annoying, and most don't even have a brief summary of what the video is about. brush Mar 2024 #17
Let me just offer my condolences thusly... Bucky Mar 2024 #18

I rarely watch videos here SCantiGOP Mar 2024 #24
Put you finger on the red slide and skip the introductory parts or the parts that don't interest you. PortTack Mar 2024 #26
I don't write off any source with out a fair listen. In Fox's case that would be as soon as anyone's lips move ... marble falls Mar 2024 #45
BTC is already working with MSNBC to put out a few videos each week TexasTowelie Mar 2024 #52
That's good news. marble falls Mar 2024 #63

It is too bad that so many here trash the posters. I don't watch, but appreciate the time and effort question everything Mar 2024 #75
One can "trash" a whole forum, that may be something useful to you. nt RockRaven Mar 2024 #76
