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?

Videos are unfortunately the way a LOT of quality content is delivered now and banning any and all videos (relevant or not) is probably not the way to go.

GN, L1T, HUB and so on are super high-quality stuff that're tech related and that's basically how they deliver their content. A blanket ban would kill way too much good shit, imo.

A compromise would be to require a text summary of any video post.

There's lots of technology channels on YouTube and it's competition that do tech news that I feel are pretty relevant (gamerz nexus for sure). I wouldn't want people to lose that just because some of us (myself included) prefer written formats to videos.

Personally, I think if it's a video related to technology, it belongs in the technology community more so than the video community.
