Unless people are just too embarrassed to fess up....

it keeps on loading and sucking up your download speed though until it either finishes, or you refresh the page....even quick reply does not interrupt it.

I watch the personal videos whenever I can, and any which look interesting on the Olde Video Clippe thread.

For me it mostly depends on the poster - if I saw a clip posted by Clod I'd almost definitely watch it just because she would have to have a good reason to include it. I like the Gong Show too, but I don't watch every submission, and only a few of those that get through.

Am not watching any today as I haven't been allocated a PC with headphones. It's not a hardship! I'd only weep bitter tears if there was a new Dwellar video as the sound equals the visuals in terms of importance on those.

Not supposed to watch videos or stream music at work. I'm physically able to do it, but don't want to draw negative attention to myself. So that leaves watching at home, where I have much less time. I don't watch Drax's and only watch a few of the music ones. I love the personal Dwellar ones. If the clip is on the ye olde video clip thread and is described and sounds interesting, I'll watch that. I like the videos a lot but only watch about 10% of them.

Oh right, I thought buster meant if it's irritating the crap out of you while you were trying to read the rest of the posts. Didn't think about download speed etc.

If I could, I would, but I can't, so I don't

Excellent point there.

Who the hell is gonna click on a YouTube clip without having any idead about what it even is?

How long does it take to copy/paste the title at least? Come on people, give us a reason to be interested.

In recent months only one, because now I am allowed to at work. (there was a policy and fine at the old place) I look forward to it now! The one I saw was a hot cellar member saying hi. Totally worth the second and a half out of my life. So between never and few. Once.

So yea...now that I can...I'm too busy to be here much. Sucks.

Doesn't matter to me who posted the video or what the description is. If I'm curious enough, I'll watch it.

Interesting. Curiosity that is affected by neither the description nor the source. Random in other words. That confirms a lot.

Yep. Sure does. Why should my decision be affected by who posted the video?
