This board seems to have been taken over by posts linking mindless pop videos. At this moment, four threads at the top, and that excludes the Eurovision one just a couple more threads down.

Perhaps pop videos should have their own board rather than take over a general-interest one?

This is a virtual pub.

We always used to have a jukebox in the Snug back in the TMF day’s but if people here would prefer the jukebox to be removed, I’ll go to another pub.

There's a "my pic of the day" thread for pictures. I visit that one regularly, 'cos I like a lot of the pics, but it would also be easy to ignore for someone with no interest. A similar thread for pop videos would be less obtrusive here than a great multitude.

It's a pub. If you don't want to join in a conversation, move on to the next one. The thought that instead you could interrupt and say "you can't talk about that in here" breaks the pub metaphor.

If there's interest in a subject, it will gain traction. If there isn't, it'll end up with one person talking to themselves in a corner. Either is typical and acceptable in a pub :-)

As has been said, pop videos have always been part of the mix in the Snug, and I've no doubt there are some Snuggers who do enjoy them, so I can't see any justification for effectively banning them.

Watching them isn't compulsory. You can tell what the content is without clicking on the links, so if you don't like pop videos just ignore them - or even better, post something that is of interest.
