video posts without any analysis are low effort [View all]

Probably not gonna change anything but need to speak up. Posts that have video links without any analysis or commentary from OP are worthless. Doesn't matter if they were significant to OP but ya gotta tell me why. Else imo you're just karma farming and I'll skip right over.
