This is linkbait garbage. Giving Shopify the benefit of the doubt, I clicked on it expecting it to maybe be a parody of these types of articles. Disappointing.
It is "Top X of Y" style article that adds almost nothing to the content. Edit: Try googling "Top X TED Talks" or a variation. Almost all of these are SEO spam articles on this exact topic. I'm sure I'm just being too negative but, I find it really annoying.
The fact that is has been collected is the value added.
If I go to ted.com and search for entrepreneur, I'll have to sift through 81 results, and only one of the top 10 matches the list collected here.
The reaction here reminds me of the assumptive skewering folks often receive elsewhere for innocently reposting pictures without attributing them to some unknownable [1] source.
How is someone with good intentions behind submitting a collection supposed to go about sharing it? Is there an actual problem here beyond the specific phrasing of the title or just your assumption that the submission is link-baiting?
1: Tineye and Google image search are relatively new and not exactly common knowledge.
It is an aggregation of TED talks that somebody found interesting for entrepreneurs. Picking out of the sea of TED talks the ones which are interesting. That's commendable. OP can change the title to "Top TED Talks for Entrepreneurs" and it will even fit the guidelines.
It's a pity though that the author didn't submit it himself, especially since (s)he then monitors the comments...
Well, someone does have to wade through all the videos to hopefully find the good ones and write a synopsis for each. That kind of filtering can be valuable.
I can't add much further to their TED Talks - some of these guys are the best at what they do. I simply add a quick summary, show the video, and link to further content (their books, podcasts, websites) if people want to learn more.
It's "linkbait garbage" - it's a list of lectures I think are valuable for small / medium sized businesses to watch. There's a big difference.
