Thinking about adapting a new video-viewing policy

[bramblewild]

I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking about adapting a policy for watching online videos. That policy would be this:

If you, the video's creator, begin your videos by nagging me to "life, share, subscribe, and ring that bell", then I think I'm not going to continue watching your videos. You're asking me to like something I've not yet even watched, and share it even though I've not yet watched it. I've no idea what "bell" you're talking about, though I'll assume that's more my ignorance than anything else. And while I may find certain of your videos interesting at times, I really don't care to keep on the bleeding edge of your releases, as I have a life outside the internet.

If you must ask me to like and share something, do it at the end, when it might be a good reminder. Doing it at the first just seems desperate, and it is annoying.

Anyway, that's something I'm considering, because I'm getting rather wearied of such things.

No one says you have to watch the videos that are posted here at CF as many do like to watch them so there will be no policy banning videos unless they go against the Terms of Service.

I mean online videos in general, not any videos posted here.

Once again, if you do not want to view them then so be it. You are not ever going to have videos removed from the internet so why make such a fuss about them.

I have not said anything having video removed from anywhere.

Correction: I have not said anything about having videos removed from anywhere.

The intent of the opening post is not to call for anything to be removed or taken down or censored. It is a statement of something I may start doing in response to a practice that I've found common among people who make a lot of videos. Agree with my plan or don't agree, that's fine, but please at least refrain from reading such drastic measures like censorship into it, because it ain't there.
