I found this very funny

[Brian Gaff]

Well a short description would make me more likely to click. Brian

You'll never know what you missed by your intransigence

[Tim+]

Asking that folk follow Usenet conventions isn’t being “intransigent”.

[Max Demian]

They mostly aren't worth clicking on anyway.

[John Rumm]

Not clicking random links is just general good practice. Even in cases where one can see it is a link to a known site, there is still an argument against clicking. Especially as the youtube algorithm may now decided that you really want to see other videos about morris dancing (or whatever else you found funny)

[Robin]

You call it intransigence; others may call it a sensible response to people who ignore accepted practice (people for whom there are of course /lots/ of appropriate words).

[Mike Rogers]

Am I in the majority or minority in never opening links with this kind of description?

Mike

[Tim+]

Who knows? I certainly don’t.

Tim

[Tim Streater]

Prolly not. I don't open such links unless at least a one liner description is provided.

[Tim Lamb]

Me neither.

[Dave W]

Thanks - I've now blocked you.
