including a link to a relevant LW article in the description of the video
Bad:
link to LW homepage or the Sequences
link directly in the video, or the video explicitly encouraging people to click a link
The intuition is that people who read the video descriptions are more likely the kind of people we want here than those who only watch videos; and that discussions of specific topics under specific articles are more likely to be productive than just “here is a rationality website, do something”.
Just my opinion, not based on any data...
