Not sure I'm in the right place but Mod discussions seems to be a private forum so can't post there.

Can we have a site-wide rule that anyone that links to a video of any kind must include some commentary and preferably even a timestamp about what we're supposed to be watching this video for?

There seems to have been an increase in low effort [Title] - Video type threads that are usually saved by some poor soul jumping into the video and extracting the useful info for the rest of us that don't want to waste 5/10/15/30 minutes of our life trying to figure out what the OP is going for.

I feel like it does more to kill discussions on the site than it does to foster them.

I also think there is an existing rule that says a reply cannot just be a picture or a meme, and this would really be an updated amendment to that rule.
