I’m not sure about this since a large amount of videos are from YouTube which blocks the request to fetch the video title in Lemmy.
That must be new then. As far as I can remember, last time I linked a Youtube video, the title was suggested automatically.
Are you okay with the current status quo of asking people to do so but not removing posts that don’t?
Yes.
What could help regarding clickbait titles is to add a short description in the body about the video content (“This video is about [topic]”). One short sentence shoud suffice. Most videos are embedded (at least on desktop), and such added description would be displayed underneath the emdedded video. This way you will know what the video will be about and can decide if it would be worth watching.
When creating a post containing a video there is an option to auto-suggest the title, as it is often the same from the video source. Most posters use this, as it matches the video title from the source.
I think video titles shouldn’t be changed, no matter how much clickbaity the titel is, because the video most likely is named the same on the original source (Youtube mostly).
I don’t care about the appearence of thumbnails. To me they are indicators that this is a video and that you have to click on it in order to play.
I know of a Youtube channel that uses clickbaity thumbnails deliberately, because they are so ridiculous (thumbnails contain red circles or arrows that point somewhere and faces that show a surprised or stunned expression). These thumbnails in particular don’t represent the videos’ content at all.
Translation: Bicyles don’t stink … are silent
If you want to dive into the rabbit hole of AI companionship, watch these videos:
Choosing AI Wife Over Real Girlfriend and Daughter
It’s hillarious and sad.
The problem is not the mix up, because of the same name or a similar appearence, but rather that the processing done by the authorities with support of AI cannot be intervened by humans. Imagine you can resolve something only after you have been fined or, worst case scenario, booked into jail.
I found this on Mastodon (I posted the source link from Mastodon in the description), but it also can be found in this Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/policy/772760/tech-ceos-ai-trump-white-house-dinner
one of the few occurances where one wishes it was AI generated content. I’m afraid this is real, considering most of them also attended the inauguration. They really want to be exempt from any punitive tariffs or other legal requirements.
…or do a little dance
With all the world (at least western nations) drifting backwards at least into nationalism (some countries even at full throttle into fascism), this could be used as an advantage: Why not shifting the narrative into the direction, that a stable, clean and healthy enviroment is pinnacle of patriotism (like the narrative of a healthy body was used in national-socialist propaganda 90 years ago in Germany), along with renewable energy that makes each nation independent from others. Wind turbines and solar power for freedom, so to say. Things like coal rolling or similar acts like wasting resources will be deemed as un-patriotic then.
I believe it did happen more than once. The reason why life on Earth has developed into such complexity is that the primordial soup, where life developed out of, has been cooking undisturbed from events like supernovae and such that would have wiped out everyhing (Earth istself as well as the whole solar system) nearby. Life could develop over several billion years, and cosmic events like asteroid impacts didn’t wipe out all of life. Remaining life startet over again.
If life developed on another planet with similar features like earth, it could have been wiped out by a nearby supernova, by a collision between two planets and similar events, before it got any more complex.

Usually I recommend using cobalt.tools for downloading either the video or the audio file. Unfortunately, cobalt.tools isn’t able to download from Youtube at the moment due to restrictions from Youtubes side.
I found a workaround, albeit it is a bit complicated, but suitable for an occasional download: I installed FreeTube. Each video offers download options. However, if you want a better quality than 360p, it offers to download video and audio separately. Look for the highest quality. Both video and audio file can be merged using VLC player after downloading.
After selecting the desired file(s) in FreeTube, you deternine where the files are to be saved, and then the download starts. There is no visual confirmation that the file is being downloaded. Eventually it appears on your computer. The download is slow, it takes almost the duration of the video that is to be downloaded.
After downloading both the video and the audio file, open them in VLC. Follow one of the guides when searching for video audio merge vlc. You can also save the merged file.
Not as a kid, but as a young adult entering the workforce:
Never trade shifts with anyone.
When I heard this advice, I thought that this would be a dick move, because you are supposed to help out each other, since everyone appears to be in the same position (or metaphorically in the same boat). But some time later I witnessed what was meant: I had two coworkers that engaged in a shift-trade. One of the coworkers had an appointment and so he asked another coworker if they can switch shifts. The other one agreed to cover the shift, but he never got the favor back, as if that agreement never took place.
It turns out, that at work, everyone ist fighting for himself, and you should, too, catering to your own interests.

I went to school in Germany. Over the years we watched as a class
Sometimes, I think it was in 6th grade, we had lesson in a room that was permanently equipped with a TV and VCR (as opposed to these portable TV carts a teacher had to roll into the room). When we behaved well (and we did!), we were allowed to watch MTV for the last remaining 10 - 15 minutes before lesson was dismissed.
This clearly shows that such implementation of AI is a solution that still seeks for the problem. Such summary doesn’t add anything helpful. On top of this, since AI is known to hallucinate, one has to check the comments for themselves, making a summary obsolete.
Soon people will trade USB thumb drives with each other, until USB ports get banned for the sake of children.

This website offers many car manuals. I got my users manual form this site as well (albeit for another car brand). You can download each maual as a pdf, but you have to solve captchas first.
Maybe you’ll find what you need.
