Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.
On lemmy?
Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)
Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist
I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit
I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually
Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)
+1 for the video issue, or any other “just do [insert a bunch of work here], it’s less work than commenting anyways” kinda stuff
Who the fuck uses pluses as bullet points in their markdown!?
I do. Why, what do you use?
That’s the taboo! Boo! How dare you!
I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.
We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.
Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?
There’s just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.
