        I see it all the time. Maybe your creators don’t care about the feature? Also, you can simply use the description of the video. Of course, this means less ad watch time so obviously not happening.

            You forgot the most important part: no ad revenue from text posts on youtube.

          While text posts on Youtube are technically a thing that exists, you can’t expect a significant portion of users on the platform to pay attention to those. People go to Youtube to watch videos. That’s what the platform is for, that’s what the audience is there for.

            Stop killing games is larger than being youtube content now. News are reporting about it. How about starting a website where you present this information instead of on a youtube channel? The obvious answer to why not is that he wants the sweet ad revenue that youtube provides at the cost of wasting everyone’s time.
