New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." (lemmy.world)

Due to the large number of reports we've received about recent posts, we've added Rule 7 stating "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

In general, we allow a post's fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.

We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.

Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.

Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.

So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.

I hate when I see a cool title and then it links to a video. I want text so that I can read what I find relevant. It is like looking up recipe, a lot of the time there is a wall of text about their childhood before the actual recipie.
