Author Topic: Youtube-Link-Topic Spam?  (Read 2046 times)

It seems 90% of the topics here are 15 letters and a Youtube link. Has anyone else gotten tired of having to wait through these Youtube Videos to discover the point of these hundreds of topics?

I've been tired of it for a long time. On messengers, I stopped checking Youtube links unless someone at least has run a conversation with me first and gives me context saying it relates to our conversation. It gets tiresome to always have to look at someones Youtube links to understand wtf they are talking about. Otherwise, I tell them I won't look.


Edit:

Example 1
Example 2
Sorry, A.R.C. But at least provide the name of whatever it is in the Youtube link so we aren't forced to go there to understand your topic. And by forced, I'm not saying I'm forced to look. I'm saying I've wasted 10 seconds of my life clicking a topic to be told to waste 2 minutes of my life watching something I might not give a **** about.

Just click on the link. I don't see what's so bad about it.

You don't attempt to understand. Here's an example I can make:

Quote
Topic Title: Wow, that was weird!

Topic Text: Wow, isn't this weird?! http://youtube.com/94859849u89

Now, when you find many topics with that title, but most of them only give you a Youtube link where you have to watch for 2-4 minutes, it eats up your life. And it also eats up your life when you can't tell it's a Youtube Spam Topic, so I'm clicking these then clicking back so many times.

Because your life is so special that you can't afford to waste 3-4 minutes of it.

I'm going to find where your richard like a fish.

Colton, thank you. You made a Youtube Link Topic that at least gives basic context to wtf is in the link. As in the topic I just made which you might notice, I am admittedly complaining about people who make topics that are just "Wow, isn't this f'ed up?!" and a Youtube link, forcing me to have to watch some poorly made video just to find out. So, instead, I have wasted my time clicking on such a useless topic and I can't find many real topics beyond that.

Maybe that will help.

There are usually only about one or two topics like that every week. personally I just ignore them because I don't have bandwidth to spare on what are usually stuffty videos.

You don't use up your bandwidth when you look at videos...
