MODERATORS
I find your resistance to offering thoughts on the things you share in a forum strange, because you seem friendly and well spoken. Just a quick sentence describing what this video was and why you wanted people to see it probably would have got you my upvote instead.
Joseph Anderson may have millions of views, but I'm not in those millions. I never heard of the guy until you posted this. So all I had to go on was that its something about Lies of P and it's 48 minutes long. That's a lot of time to spend on figuring out whether a random Internet post is worthwhile or not. Cute cat pictures can stand on their own, those only take a second to look at and tell if they're good or bad, but a long form video really needs some context before I can say whether I'm interested in seeing it or boosting it to other people. And if I don't have the context to say whether the post is good, I'll downvote it to make room for the posts that are definitely good.
I think I said something a bit stronger than what I meant. I'm not averse to sharing my thoughts on posts, I've just never held it against a post if the OP happens to not provide some comment containing their thoughts on it.
I do see what you're saying about not knowing what something is, and not wanting to spend ~1 hour on it to find out. Though I still don't think that's what downvoting is for (unless you have positive evidence that it's spam).
Mainly I disagree with "I'll downvote it to make room for the posts that are definitely good". That's just very much not my philosophy and not one I ever took to be a majority view. Downvoting for me means the content is not good/appropriate/whatever. It's a sign of negativity, and being not definitely good != being bad.
