To discuss the video in a comments section associated with it.

Why would i feed youtube?
Let me know when it’s on peertube, another video-centric platform.
Lemmy’s text-centric.

Listen, we don’t read the article and we don’t watch the video before commenting. Maybe we’re reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.

Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it’s just someone talking, it should’ve been an article.

We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.

maybe read the headline and the comments, but only like 30% before i react.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

Exactly!
So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good?

Yo, I love pudding pie. Is it chocolate?

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

I agree it is that way currently, unfortunately, but it’s definitely a recent phenomenon (last 10y).
