Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Why do you make blind links in your posts?
It's an absolutely disgraceful horrible idiotic habit, and should be cause for being banned.
You should log off and take a walk
Or maybe you should?
And then just maybe Jordanlund should get his shit together, and post according to the standards he demanded of others as moderator.
As a moderator, the only thing I have to say about YouTube links is they can't be top level posts, comments are fine.
It's a Youtube link. Nothing "blind" about it.
That's like saying it's an internet link, nothing blind about it.
It's a moronic habit, and youtube has all sorts of content I have no interest in.
Does not say a lot about the content...
The line immediately above the Youtube link referencing a song makes it clear what the link is.
Gee... could it be... maybe a song... on YouTube? About Hitler?
Oh yes that true,
It's THE SONG!
THE SONG ABOUT HITLER... 🤣 🤣 🤣
/s How hard would it have been to include the title?
