I likewise get very annoyed at cryptic posts here that assume you're watching the exact same thing the poster is watching. Or that you know every single obscure acronym.

Fortunately for the latter, a fast Google search often (not always) solves the problem. Earlier I read a post in which someone wrote that something or another was PITA. I could tell they didn't actually mean as in the bread, and I did find out that it means pain in the ass. But it would be vastly more considerate to actually type out the full thing.

Another issue for me about videos being published, is that I'm rarely willing to spend more than three or four minutes watching one. Especially if there's a lot of talky-talk leading up to the pertinent bit.
