Question for the community: Do you like the recent trend to video posts only on DU without the written word.

63. No! It changes the algorithyms

If you watch a video (that you don't like), don't worry, you will get more of them now because you watched it.

At least that is how I perceive the way that youtube serves up videos to me. I watch one about horses, next thing I know there are tons of horse videos. It is kind of creepy, but when it comes to clicking on videos you know nothing about, is it worth it to click and watch?

The other thing is someone posted the video because they found something interesting about it. If they could just post the text about that, and then if I want to see more, I will click on the video. To click on it just to see if you can figure out why the op person posted it (and then, what, 10,20 or more minutes later) you still can't figure it out. You will never get that time back.

Just my two cents!
