[Meta] I suggest adding a rule to not post videos here. (feddit.org)

In my humble opinion, the Technology community should only contain text news/articles or even news pictures.

I simply think that tech videos does not belong to this community, as there is already a videos community which would be more suitable for this.

What does the mods think about this?

I'm almost certainly not going to watch one, but I'm not going to suggest they're banned, unless something changes and the majority of content becomes videos for some reason. I haven't felt that it's a problem.

I'd rather see posts of tech support or someone's shower thoughts be removed, because I see that pretty frequently, and it pushes the relevant content down. At least it's not 80% tangentially-related business news or "Musk tweeted something" any more.
