There are multiple ways to express art. I prefer abstract and not always telling people what I'm thinking, or it's that something should be experienced the way the artist/musician wanted rather than me adding a bunch of words to it. Don't get me wrong, the point of a Journal is to write about something; I will certainly be doing that.

It's more work for the viewer, IMO. Also, for the tl:dr crowd, they are probably not going to click on links and spoiler tags. If I have the embed video, all they gotta do is click on it. I usually keep it to about 4 videos per post, sometimes six. I won't be loading up posts with 20+ vids. For my one journal, that's also why I'm working on a text-based list. That might be helpful for people who would want to explore that stuff without sifting through my words or vids that hang up their computer. I dunno. We'll see where things take me.

And this became a thing when SOMEONE here posted 208 youtube links (I counted) over 20 entries.

If you're not going to do anywhere near amount that you have nothing to worry about
If I get to 207, I will start a "Part II" . I keed.
