    Look, in all honesty I don't care if people want to constantly post links to other sites etc. but would it be too much to ask if there was at least some brief description of wtf the link is actually about?

    I'm a bit sick of seeing some random link to YouTube etc. only to click on it and discover that I'd rather have that few seconds of my life back because I'm not remotely interested in the subject.

    Hey, lazy bastards, if you're going to put up a post which is nothing but a link, at least have the decency to put something in the subject line. There's a reason not everyone is on twitbook: we don't have endless time to look at pointless BS.

    Thanks.

    To save the hassle, just avoid clicking on ANY link posted up by the lazy bastards. :D

    If you had have put "PP link posting" in the subject line you would have saved me reading this post!

    So here's the thing...sometimes I consider just copying and pasting the content of the article the link refers to, and sometimes I do just that, but I figure someone has spent money and time in the writing of that article, so it seems fair that they're given the credit and possible click money they deserve for doing so.

    I'm also not sure if copying and pasting said articles contravenes some sort of copyright law.

    Maybe someone can clarify?

    All I'd like is for some brief information about what the link is instead of just a blank link that has to be clicked on in order to have even the faintest idea what it's about.

    So in your case all you need to do is put "Here's another puff piece about Samsung" above the link

    I doubt it would be possible to do it more than you already do, or be more annoying than you already are.
