Maybe we need a c/IDontReadTheNews comm :P

I've considered making a comm, possibly something that would be ideal for these kinds of posts (maybe where I could normalize the titles), just haven't gotten around to it yet. I am noticing that text articles do definitely get more positive engagement, possibly because people can scroll through them at work here and there and quickly pick up where they left off, whereas videos can only be viewed at work in the background at office jobs while other things are getting done, and people have to be extra careful about video links they click at the office. Youtube doesn't make that easier, for sure.

I don’t think you’d get push-back on the lemmy.ml news & politics comms for editing titles somewhat, as long as it doesn’t significantly deviate from the original meaning or insert a lot of editorializing.
