[quote:Blue Skies:MV8yMDUwODMzXzM0NDYyNTQ2XzgyNUUyMjc5] I'm with you OP. To many videos......At least put an explanation with the video, for those of us who don't have the time or desire to watch them. Music videos are the worst. What you see and hear in it, may not be what others do......Explain how it makes you feel. I do appreciate when some one gives a time of where the action is, so we don't have to watch three minutes of video to see something that occurs in the last thirty seconds. [/quote]

I'm interested in fringe stuff and conspiracy theories, but I find it frustrating having to waste time watching videos when I could be speed-reading text, instead.
If you have something to tell people, isn't it better to post it as text instead posting it as a "talking head" video filled with (often) disorganized talk, unnecessary video effects and music? Some videos are, in fact, nothing but crappy special effects, music and scrolling text. Why bother with a video at all?
Text is easy to skim through and see if it's at all interesting. With a video, you'll end up skipping back and forth trying to find the interesting bits buried in a boring "talking head" show.
And believe me, I haven't seen a single photogenic person in such a video!
