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?

They still clog the feed and cause accidental clicks.

At a minimum, all video posts' titles should start with [VIDEO]. Making a user scan for some easy to overlook cue that they're clicking on a video isn't great design.

So because you do occasional misclicks, nobody else should be allowed to see any video submissions, even if they are super informative? Buddy, get a grip with reality. You're not the center of the universe. Other people exist. "I don't like something, therefore nobody can have it" is not a proper attitude.

I don't like videos either tbh, but I would be ok with posts that are properly identified, so like [video] [news] [opinion] etc lol

They don't clog the feed, the overwhelming majority of posts here are links to articles. Your lack of motor control is also not our problem.
