Pretty sure I'm guilty of this when I make threads about specific artists. I agree with you, I'm just a hypocrite.

It's not i expect a big ass text wall to explain the subject of the thread but i do expect the thread maker to put a little effort into the OP.

A well written OP sets the tone for the thread imo.
even if ppl here derail it with their hilarious off topic banter if you write a good OP someone is bound to take it seriously and put the thread back on track.

Some kind of comment about it goes a long way toward piquing my interest.

in my case the reason you should check it out is cause i posted it.

I'm not reading all that ****, but I'll just say that there are five million and one Youtube videos on this site, and I am not going to click on all of them. If they're part of a review, then great. If they're the entire content of a post, then **** off. I need some context about what the **** it is I'm about to click on, or I'm probably just wasting my time. It's why I always try to write something, even if only a sentence, when posting in a "What Are You Listening To?" thread.

i like how needy you guys are

"post the way i want you to post or else i won't watch your video!"

is that a threat, comrade? you only deprive yourself of jwb wisdom in doing so. indeed, you are like a deluded and unhygienic hippy indulging in a hunger strike against corporate greed in a walmart parking lot, all while the rest of america's one-stop-shoppers walk by eyeing you with disgust and contempt, mistaking you for a smelly homeless person.

personally, i can assess whether i want to watch any youtube video by reading the title and looking at the thumbnail. sometimes (rarely) i misjudge, but then i quickly realize my error within 15 seconds of clicking play. because i am better than you

We're not talking about your hour-long Trump videos (I assume). I already know what those are about and whether or not I want to watch them. But when it's some random band's random song, and I have no idea what either of them are, then I skip.

You're prolly missing out on a lot of good music if you're not clicking links in that thread just because people didn't write a sentence about the song they post.

Knowing this site, I'm probably missing out on a lot of boring indie.
