Posters of YouTube videos, please read...

Hey all!

So, many of you have your own YouTube channels and make some awesome vids of your adventures and it is greatly appreciated, but for the love of god PLEASE post a few pictures on in the thread to go with your offsite linking!

You might be surprised how many members just close the threads without ever following the link because of it, and I am included myself in that group. It is not because we do not want you to be able to build your views, but simply because we do not have enough time or even the service available to be able to watch vids constantly, and when you provide nothing but an offsite link it can be incredibly frustrating..

If you all can do this it will help some of us out, as well as helping to generate a little more interest in the hunting/fishing sections (or whatever other section it is happening in)...

Thanks!

Tirebob, I got in the habit of just deleting click bait threads with no description. Agree with you 100%.

I'd even say a brief description is enough. So many people post a thread with a title and a link which I never click cause for all I know it could be anything from watching paint dry to skydiving.
Just a simple " I went out deer hunting and came really close to this huge buck and got it all on film" does wonders over just a posted link

It will draw more people to the link, but again if it is a hunting and fishing show of success or the like it is only fair (or at least courteous) that there should be a bit of content here for us and not just a link that supports only another social medias platform numbers.

By all means people should feel free to make and post videos of a hunt or some amazing fishing they have done, but an accompanying few pictures for the forum pages would be reasonable to expect, and would also be appreciated.

Wow.
I never click on any link as mentioned above and appreciate your attempt to make things more clear for an old fool.
