I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.
I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.
When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.
What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?
Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?
It’s a symptom of our modern society and the information age we live in. People don’t have the time to sit and enjoy a long video, they need a 5 second one to keep their attention.
This research paper explains it far better than I can.
