  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

For some, the appeal of logging and sharing the media they consume is about understanding what their tastes say about them.

This is one of the weirder tedious time consuming trends I can think of. Sure i rate shows, movies, and restaurants so I know i liked them and for others benefits but I dont see the need to log i watch cooking vids on YouTube so I need to have some internal retrospection about it.
