Gregory's Server@Setok @holothuroid if it's a bad video created only for views and money (which I kinda doubt would be shared online to help you but ok), then you should at least say it's a bad video, instead of saying you didn't watch it just because it is a video. Most people who comment things like that don't watch the video, and thus can't say if it's bad or no. The recent TechnologyConnections drama on Mastodon shows exactly how bad it is for his mental health when he puts extreme amount of effort into a video, and then when it's linked by someone people start commenting how they are not going to watch it 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁‘𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼.
Also I don't think anybody is forcing you to watch a video.

@stepan @holothuroid the video itself might be fine. Even great. But if I have to watch it to find about your product, I won’t. Perhaps some work that way, I don’t. So you get things like “The number one reason you shouldn’t buy the Austin Elektra EV! Click video”. Rather than just, you know, typing out the thing.
Or “Learn how to build a door!”. A video, whereas following a static document with pictures and text is way easier.
It’s obvious many do it for Tubefame.
