Sharpen your search perameter. Or close caption them and read. I read more of them than I listen to. marble falls Mar 12 #1

I do the same Diamond_Dog Mar 12 #4

Absolutely. Also if there are any capitalized titles promising "Putin DESTROYED by ... , TFG EVISCERATED by ..., ... marble falls Mar 12 #9

Oh yeah, I'm so tired of titles with those type descriptions. Never watch them. Silent Type Mar 12 #32

Sometimes it's tough but then there are two or three of the valuble posters here who actually add the ... marble falls Mar 12 #39

Same! PortTack Mar 12 #30

thank you et tu Mar 12 #38

You can choose a video if you want. I will almost never choose them because most are time-wasters Ocelot II Mar 12 #67

And the same is true for posts that are nothing more than a xitter link erronis Mar 13 #79

I agree. I can read key excerpts of an article in less than a minute that a video takes ten minutes to work around to Bernardo de La Paz Mar 12 #5

Anytime I post a video, I provide a caption to explain what it's about. They are available on almost all videos. Rhiannon12866 Mar 12 #25

I like your videos Rhiannon...thx PortTack Mar 12 #29

It's not the first OP that I've seen like this. I guess too few that there are forums just for videos Rhiannon12866 Mar 12 #51

You do and I appreciate it. I wish more posters did too. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 12 #57

Same here! We need to know what it's about without spending the time to see if we're interested Rhiannon12866 Mar 12 #60

I think it's very important NJCher Mar 13 #77

Awww! That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me here! Rhiannon12866 Mar 13 #78

Same here. I just don't bother with those posts Raine Mar 12 #10

I largely avoid them like spam. WheelWalker Mar 12 #12

Ditto. Heck, by the time you see a few videos, almost 1.5 hours has passed. I don't want to sit there and SWBTATTReg Mar 12 #16

It's so annoying, and most don't even have a brief summary of what the video is about. brush Mar 12 #17
