I will rate these people on this scale:

1 (I hope you step on a lego) to 5 (I hope you fall in a pit of Lego)

Scale

1- Share a direct link to a YouTube/TikTok/etc as conversation starter or reply

2 - the above, but without a summary or timestamps.

3 - the above, but the video is longer than 5 minutes and "dude wait until the end".

4 - the above, but no context. It's just the direct link.

5 - the above, but the video is part of some "influencer" bait and you "have to understand their lore about why it's funny"

I wholeheartedly agree with you, which means this isn't much of an unpopular opinion, so downvoted.

Way too many #4 on Lemmy. The video title is not a conversation starter.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Same with posts like "I f'ing love this game" with just a random screenshot and no mention of the title or what makes it fun.

Every Lemmy community should add this to their rules.

And you get a temporary ban if violate the rules. The length of the ban in days is the same as the relevant number in that list. Repeat offenders switch from days to weeks.

Hit the transcript button, copy and paste it into your favorite AI's text box, and ask it for a summary. Don't even worry about the timestamps and formatting; it still works with a direct copy/paste. Even with auto-generated captions.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
