I don’t mind if it’s a good video but yeah, there needs to be a description explaining what the video is about (doubly so for the shit with clickbait titles)

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Unless its a community for video links, I 100% agree. It's the link aggregate equivalent to getting a phone call with no warning.
I feel that is a popular opinion. Many people are unhappy with a top level comment or reply that is just a bare link to a video, except where it's a reply to a comment or post asking for a for it
You have made 3 posts including this one.
One of them was a video with no description.
Be the change you want to see.
I’ve made 8 posts..and after looking you’re correct I did link a few of the Lego Iran ones at the start of the war.
Still it’s trash. Won’t do that again
Create a video summary and add it to your posts. I do that when I post a video
Thank you
This is why I immensely respect Stefan from CNC Kitchen, because in addition to his long winded and detailed Youtube videos on the topic at hand he has a companion equally long winded and detailed written article on his website with exactly the same data and content for every single one of them. So if you'd rather not have to watch the entire video or try to scrub through the timeline to get to the information you want, you can get it from the article instead.
