Well a short description would make me more likely to click. Brian
You'll never know what you missed by your intransigence
Asking that folk follow Usenet conventions isn’t being “intransigent”.
Tim
They mostly aren't worth clicking on anyway.
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)
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).
Am I in the majority or minority in never opening links with this kind of description?
Mike
Who knows? I certainly don’t.
Tim
Prolly not. I don't open such links unless at least a one liner description is provided.
Me neither.
Thanks - I've now blocked you.
