  1. We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.

  2. Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?

  1. Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
  2. The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.
