It's one of the main reasons that when searching for information I'll generally first click on links that look like they're text based rather than video based. Good thing I didn't bother to click on the video. |

The beauty of the youtube algo is the majority of peeps are arguing about the meat of the matter and it's among the top comments. I can't be the only one who does this and I wonder how long until you wont be able to see the comments before you watch the preroll and have had watched a certain amount of video. |
