People here really hate just link posts and this is mostly true of any subject. This may be because they can’t quickly skim them to make a rapid estimate of the value of information. But I think the really big thing is that most people just lazily assume a link is to non-original work.
Note that when people like gwern make badass research intensive posts they never just post a link to their website, they usually replicate the entire article on LW or at least quote extensively. Even in Discussion single link posts aren’t much liked.
I don’t really like this norm honestly, but it is an established one.
I appreciate the clarification. :) My bad—I’m surprised to hear that that is a problem, but that is life, eh?
I rewrote the description. What do you think? I don’t want you to go to all the effort of doing a transcript; I suspect it might take longer than the video itself (with all the false starts, etc). But I will not say no to it, either. Do you think it’s still necessary?
Much better, it is a good summary. Perhaps drop the Obama reference (keep the discussion on race line). For some strange reason any name-drop of an American politician in a post seems to cost it 5 or 10 karma instantly (politics is the mindkiller has become a mindkiller heh (^_^) )

Oh its ok, its not really necessary. A paragraph explaining what the key argument is and perhaps links to related posts work just fine. I was just offering to PM you a raw transcript of what your said, that I would type do as I watched. BTW So far I’m linking your video.
Have you considered making a discussion post that summarized and linked to some of your older videos? I think someone recommended a few from your channel in a discussion here once and it got up votes. The Atheistkult one might be edgy but I think it would actually go down well and would be very relevant to the LW crowd.
Hey I can do a quick cleaned up transcript and if you’d like you can put it in the OP. (^_^)
Edit: Metatroll beat me to it! Give him karma.

Sexy GLaDOS, I’ve done transcription myself, and I know that it’s no fun—but a few comments suggest that a transcript would be desired.
If it’s easy for you—if you think the video deserves it—then it might be much appreciated.

Greatly appreciated, friend.
Darn you beat me to it. Good work!
Ok, how do you guys do that?
