Forums / Maintenance / Suggest Ideas

You'll notice on nearly all profiles how there is a large gap between image and video posts. That's because it's easier to post images than it is to post videos. It takes more time to load video pages and to copy their titles than it does to load up a page already filled with images you can title whatever you want. The gap is really obvious so if this site wants more videos then it should double their value that way we have more of an incentive to post them. I value my imaginary meme titles.

Just wanted to point out something first, videos are automatically sourced and titled. It's actually waaaaaay easier to post videos than images. The real reason people don't post videos is people want to get upvotes, and almost no one goes there.

I don't see how doubling the values of videos for a title will help. However, the video scrapbooker is still in progress and people are considering halfing the requirement.

high reward shouldn't be the reason for uploading media

Seconded.

Caring Too Much About Imaginary Numbers on the Internet: The Idea

In all seriousness though this doesn't really accomplish much other than potential ego inflation. It also doesn't make much sense when put into the "pie" everyone has on their page, since it just makes it, to put it bluntly, the wrong number.

Quick question: why do we want more videos?

I'm the only person who cares about the video gallery it seems, and the video gallery is woefully undermoderated. More videos would just lead to less moderation of videos.

i don't think that is a very good example. while a job pays in wages can be used for necessities such as food and shelter, internet meme points are ultimately useless.

i think what asdfghjkl said is right, the issue is no one wants to watch videos so no one bothers uploading them for upvotes. pictures are much more popular because they require less attention than a video and can be enjoyed in quick succession. i don't think we can get more videos uploaded by the site in general unless that changes, which i don't see happening.

Contributing to KYM isn't a job, nor should you treat it as such. If you think you "pay" is unfair, you're more than welcome to leave.

In addition, we need to keep in mind that a lot of the more documented items on KYM are often in image form to begin with. Advice animals, fanart, social media screencaps, and image macros are fare more prominent than any video counterpart I know of. The exceptions would be things like Vines and parody videos, which we actually have quite a number of.

I value my imaginary meme titles.

And if you ever posted ideas in the maintenance board that weren't just thinly-veiled attempts at grabbing more internet points, we might be more inclined to listen to them. You seriously need to stop this shit. Nobody wants KYM made into your ideal social site. Between jabs at other users, blind criticism of the mods, and a general whiny attitude, you're not doing yourself any favours.

His ideas appear dumb sure but I rather have him make 100 suggestions hoping for that one gem to come eventually than no suggestions.

A quick scan at most of his threads can tell you these won't be implanted, this is one such thread. Reasons were already posted. So this discussion is done.
