Lemmy plugin idea: when someone posts a YouTube link, the server copies the video to peertube instead.
Or maybe we could build that into the client to save server resources.
While that is an idea that’s cool for the fediverse as a whole, it COMPLETELY misses the point of this post. We want to READ the information, not listen to someone trickle feed it to us, peppered with adverts and asides.
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Several times a day, every day. I hate the ones that sucker you in, somehow. I follow the link fully expecting an article, and it’s just a video embedded in some site.
But, also the articles that tease the point. It could be two paragraphs, but the writer is apparently paid by the word, so you need to skim two-thirds of the article to get there.
Amen.
Just as annoying as the fact i have to watch a fucking 15 minute youtube garbage video with obnoxious musc just to get a tutorial that could have been written into 3 sentences.
Dude never would I ever have dreamed I’d yearn for the days of 2 minute videos with notepad being used to communicate but here we are.
BANDICAM AND NOTE PAD YEEEEE BUDDY
