I have noticed that some users here don’t have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying.
So to make the users who dont have time to watch a video happy. Post a tldw summary. You dont have to write it yourself or anything. Just use chatgpt or something similar.
I have also noticed that there is better engagement and discussions when a tldw is posted.
I don’t usually watch videos because when I use Lemmy I’m in my phone and listening to the music.
I don’t want my music to stop so I can watch a video of 10 minutes with a list of Patreons, a paid sponsor, links to other videos of the channel and an actual minute with worthy information.
I usually don’t have headphones handy and don’t want the noise (or already am watching something else passively)
I pretty much bounce off any video link so a dinner is a big help (and may even get me to take the effort to watch the video)

Exactly: a large chunk of the time, videos seem to simply be a way to stretch the content that could be a bullet list into a not-easily-parseable mess of content sandwiched into “Hey lovely people… Don’t forget to SMASH that like and subscribe button!”
Sometimes videos are done well, but an annoying number of them are just attempts to monetize fluid content with a lot of padding; they’re like the recipe blogs of the video world.
Video is 10:51 long, skipped
I often use online media at a time when using headphones isn’t an option and I depend on subtitles it TLDW.
“To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying.”
TLDR
why post to YT at allI think it is a good idea to add some text to a link, with own opinion etc. This will make clear what the video is about and if it worth watching.

If you look through my history and see any comments on a post that’s a link to YouTube, I most likely used this.
Besides lack of time, a TL;DW is also neat for people who are proficient only in the written language, but not the spoken one.
How do you input a video into ChatGPT though. Could just do the transcript but a brief description to ChatGPT won’t allow it to grasp the context enough.
