As someone who also enjoys reading text, I tend to read the domain name before following a link, if only because some web site, like the NYT, aren't worth clicking on due to my lack of a subscription.

In any case, there have already been three links to text articles on the topic: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal...

https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com shows about 24 YouTube links in the last 24 hours, so it's not like links to YT are incredibly rare.
