Writing something interesting that will engage into good conversation take some work and other ingredients. We can try however, it's not easy to hit all cylinders all the time. Your comment on videos, spot on. It's just too easy.....

I agree.

I try oh Shadowy one, I try and let people know the content. It's usually to back up a comment I'm making. May your request go heeded by those that are suffering from vagueness

I am used to apps that carry the title and even a thumbnail with when I paste a link. It's easy to forget that this app strips away all such information, designating itself as just "link" when one hots control-v. I usually go back and edit back in some detail.

Agreed. I've brought this up before, to no avail. I actually think it should be mandatory, and all should be subject at least to community approval. And unlike approval for other types of posts, it should ask specifically if the description is good enough.

There a some that make you want to say WTF.

It's lazy. If people do it too often I block them.
Seriously, who cares that someone else liked a track on Youtube? I've got my own wishlist.

Totally agree, It's pretty easy to copy and paste a title and description.

Agreed. I refuse to click on a link without knowing anything about it. Scammers abound.

If someone posts a link and gives me no information as to what it is about, I simply don't click on it. These feel like "homework" to me: "read this/view this and then we'll talk." No thanks. It's probably the fact that i prefer reading to listening or watching; it's also the fact that I think it is important to be able to express oneself clearly in writing. If I can't figure out what specific issue is desired for discussion, I have no idea whether I can contribute, or even if I am interested.

Good idea. I pass over most of those.
