In my humble opinion, the Technology community should only contain text news/articles or even news pictures.

I simply think that tech videos does not belong to this community, as there is already a videos community which would be more suitable for this.

What does the mods think about this?

There's a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too. A lot of the articles I'm interested reading are either clickbate/ragebait or way out of context or just completely false.

Absolutely. That's why it's still good practice to include some kind of comment about the article in the post if the content isn't clearly identified by the headline.

Exactly. I don't post often, but when I do, I include a short summary, as well as a couple questions to spark discussion.

The headline here does not need to be the same as the headline in the article. Other communities have rules not to editorialize headlines, this community does not. "Review of tech gadget X by outlet Y" is a perfectly fine headline here.

Much faster to skim the contents of an article than a video.
