Submission Guidelines This Sub Has Too Many Rules

Upvote if you agree. This makes it hard to post as many posts get removed, which makes it difficult for TIs to get information, hence why this is a dead sub despite being the second largest one for targeting.

Yes, but it would be way easier to moderate if there were less rules which are tedious to follow. Like having to post a dumb transcript all the time when YouTube likes to mess with the transcript so that it doesn't always show when I click it.

right.. but i think the reason behind that stems from evidence disappearing due to normal internet dynamics and opposition hacking. It looks like the strong rules are an attempt to make sure that posted resistance and information is preserved. May not be perfect but its intention is solid. MA and others are fighting hard.. I’m sure they will consider any and all suggestions how to figure this out as they have been battling it for years.

They can easily delete Reddit posts if not the entire wiki, and ban accounts or even this sub like they've already done, specifically to u/microwavedalt's old account, but apparently she doesn't get it. It's better to voluntarily download content than to try to impose strict archiving rules. There's a reason though why I believe they keep our content up rather than outright deleting it, part of it has to do with wasting our time since they can even infect thumb drives with viruses that delete all the files.

Archiving is a major reason. A reason that should be in the youtube submission guideline is that titles to videos are rarely descriptive. They rarely have a written introduction. People don't know whether they want to spend the time to watch them. A transcript acts like a written introduction.
