DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
Brand loyalty debates
Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.

Ok, many people seem to hate when I post YouTube videos. I would very much like to understand why. (sh.itjust.works)

They are totally in keeping with the theme of the community, so I don’t entirely understand.

So despite the fact that I watched every video I have posted, and felt that they made informed, salient points that I felt the community would be interested in, it’s still an automatic downvote for you?

generally many folks don't want to scroll through videos. Like the other responses stated: include a text summary of the key points from the video.

i don't downvote, i just don't click the link. people recommend me youtube videos all the damn time, and i NEVER go, because the ratio of "that was great" vs "wow i was more annoyed than anything else" is ridiculous

you like videos, that's great. what you're doing though is assuming that everyone likes videos, which, clearly, not everyone does. you don't have to understand why a thing is the way it is, just to acknowledge it. more information. OR here's a video for you

edit: i think maybe you meant to respond to this comment?
