I don’t get this fashion of doing everything through videos… am I the only one to feel that way ?
Definitely not; watching a video requires that I put my headphones off or be somewhere where I can blast sound without disturbing anybody nearby; also the user interface is awkward, I have to click to stop listening, etc. I probably skip 90% of links to videos, and am much more likely to follow links to written material or images.
I was just giving an extra data point for kilobug’s remark; going off the number of upvotes I think there’s a significant chunk of people who prefer video to text.
(and sheesh, if you want to talk about politically incorrect topics you’re going to be a bit more thick-skinned, here you’re snapping back at a preference of media as if it was a criticism)
I’ve been gang-banged on LW for being politically incorrect before (ironically on a thread about politically incorrect ideas...); I deserve your sheesh.
And now that I actually read through your comment… yeah, it did the same to me. ctrl+click new window, but I suppose that’s too late.

I deeply apologize for tricking you into watching a video with my link to a youtube video.

Sorry. :S I meant for the video to be embedded.
Again, chill out. Nobody here engages in nonconsensual gay sex with anyone. ;)
