Publius has a good point, at least for us. We are one of many here at FR that is stuck with dial up. It takes forever for video to load on dial up, if at all.
Any video over a minute in length isn’t going to be downloaded as it can take more than an hour to do so.
For us it’s a price we have to pay for living in the sticks.
An alternative is to go through all the comments to glean what one can of the content of the video by the content of the discussion. Often one can pick up enough to know, but then too often not.
It’s nice when a thoughtful FReeper, which does happen will post text of the video if available.
