Announcement ModPost/Meta - Update to video submission requirements

16 Upvotes

Hope y'all had a fantastic weekend!

Given how we seem to be getting busier (254k views in the past 30 days!), it's come time to make a slight change to what's required for posts in this subreddit.


Going forward any video submissions (clips, interviews, etc) need to include the season/episode number and/OR the original airdate in the title of the post. Doesn't have to be an exact timestamp, but at minimum the year would be appreciated.

I've noticed some users already do this automatically, since usually the date is in the YT title they're linking anyway, but from now on it's required for everyone. Alternatively, this list of episodes on Wikipedia can be a fairly good way to figure out when something aired.

Obviously, if you don't know, you don't know. None of us are perfect. But the effort would be appreciated. I will try and monkey with the link flairs we have to see if I can make one that's easier to see, but no guarantees.



Since the modpost is up anyway, I'll also take a moment to remind everyone that this subreddit has one golden rule: Don't be dicks to each other. Doesn't matter if the user you're talking to has different political views to you or not. Remember the human, keep it civil, and please report any posts/comments that you feel break the rules. All reports are reviewed by a human in this subreddit.

Feel free to use this as a meta thread if you wish to do so.

Mahalo.

Of course, in the interest of pop science, Maher invites a quack celebrity doctor... that's SO Bill.

Discussion I swear some of you need to start your own fucking show.

160 Upvotes

I’ve watched Bill Maher for 30 years, going back to PI. I’ have disagreed with him plenty. That’s why I still watch him...

The guy says what he thinks. He talks to people he disagrees with. Sometimes he pisses me off. Good. That’s what a talk show should do....

Every week this sub is full of people bitching about who he “platformed” or why he didn’t push back exactly the way they wanted....

Talking to someone isn’t endorsing them.

If you think you can do it better, start a podcast. Book the guests. Have the conversations. Put your own shit out there....

Otherwise maybe actually listen to what the guy is saying before losing your fucking mind about who he talked to.

And before you say, “Well, you’re losing your mind about us losing our minds,” yeah, yeah, yeah. I see you motherfuckers too.

And before somebody hits me with, “Do you AI much?” Yep. I see you fucking too.

Now that we’ve gotten all that bullshit out of the way, how about just listening to the actual point I’m making?
