@outlawkelb I'm with you there mate 100%, people are far too reliant on a video to give them all the visual information. There is a whole article relating to this small snippet of film which, correct me if I'm wrong, what NewScientist usually produces to advertise the articles and magazine itself. It is not intended to be a stand alone documentary of said article. Some people would do well to READ a little better.

@carlwitt75 read the whole article you fucking half-wit.

@legend3061 No, you're not responsible for them. I believe you took that upon yourself.

@Solthiel So am I supposed to be responsible for every swinging dick that isn't eloquent enough to satisfy the perimeters of hipsters like you? This is an open forum on the internet, not a tam tam circle.

@legend3061 Most of these comments are neither just voicing suggestions or giving constructive criticism. They're just bitching and moaning about every little thing. Giving constructive criticism goes something like "I think it's boring to have silent videos, NS. You could just have someone narrate over top" Whining goes something like this "This is horrible, I am unsubbing RIGHT NOW. I wanted a video where we watched spiders fight in nature! Not in a box! You're going to fail now!"

@Solthiel

considering how easy it would be to read the damn article if they're going to bother linking it.

[legend3061]

@Solthiel The point here is that most subscribers would like a voice-over or at least a comprehensive description in the drop down menu. It seems like you are a very litigious person who for whatever reason finds it worthwhile to reprimand people for voicing suggestions about what they would like to see from an organization that they obviously have interest in. It's called constructive criticism and it's how progress is made. I can't dumb this down any further for you, nor should I.

@legend3061

Really? Because it's linked to an article that explains exactly what is going on in the video. Did you not think they should do an article about Palpimanus gibbulus? People are not whining about things like "the content of your magazine needs to have more A and B" they are whining about things like "this video alone wasn't exactly what I expected." The feed of this channel is a feed of the videos that they link in articles, not the NatGeo channel.

@xandarian55 Science is just a methodology and a manner of exploring the universe around us. "Educational" videos are videos solely aimed at teaching. The video in question actually is scientific. It explores the manner in which Palpimanus gibbulus kills other spiders. And I suppose if any of the whiny people who post on these videos actually read the articles that related to these videos, they would see that they are attached to explanations.

@Solthiel i thought "science" implied educational but now that i have been corrected i can pursue my career in non- educational science like scratching my ass
