Besides lack of time, a TL;DW is also neat for people who are proficient only in the written language, but not the spoken one.
And who have vision or sound processing issues, like me.
I don't usually watch videos because when I use Lemmy I'm in my phone and listening to the music.
I don't want my music to stop so I can watch a video of 10 minutes with a list of Patreons, a paid sponsor, links to other videos of the channel and an actual minute with worthy information.
I often use online media at a time when using headphones isn't an option and I depend on subtitles it TLDW.
Frustrates the hell out of me whenever someone posts a video and with a title like "Here's what I think to solve technical debt" or some other thought piece it's like 45 minutes long.
Zero respect for the audience. We're a bunch who can zoom through 100+ social media posts in a few minutes, and you expect us to watch your 45 min ramble?
I usually don't have headphones handy and don't want the noise (or already am watching something else passively)
I pretty much bounce off any video link so a dinner is a big help (and may even get me to take the effort to watch the video)
"To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying."
TLDR
why post to YT at all
I'm gunna say fuck that, you don't need to form an opinion on every piece of content you come across. If you don't have time to watch a video past the TLDW, read an article past the headline, or confirm sources in general just go ahead and disregard the content in the first place.
I think it is a good idea to add some text to a link, with own opinion etc. This will make clear what the video is about and if it worth watching.

If you look through my history and see any comments on a post that's a link to YouTube, I most likely used this.
Why do you think there's always a comment summarizing video being little 'bailty, because it is a freaking waste of time. 5sec comment summarize a 12min! If summary is engaging, I would watch the video but most of the time, I don't.
yes, sorry youtuber that you have invested 5000$ in this streamer gig and you copy-cat ikea-youtube-room
How do you input a video into ChatGPT though. Could just do the transcript but a brief description to ChatGPT won’t allow it to grasp the context enough.
You can ask it to summarize the transcript in less than 5 sentences
And what you get may or may not be unrelated autocomplete garbage.
ChatGPT is not for important things.
It's usually fine enough to generate a summary for social media use.
As long as you're careful with your prompts, reducing or even eliminating hallucinations is very doable.
Also you can't always easily watch videos at work
