It says there is a video so why don’t you go watch it?
Maybe because I prefer to read an excerpt sufficient to understand the point of the article, then discuss the merits, etc. with other Freepers.
If a posted excerpt piques my interest enough, I'll go read the whole article, or watch the related video. But I'm not going to click through to someone's video or blog, just to find out that I've wasted my time chasing down the meat of the story.
I don’t like videos. I want to read the story.
