I think this territory is a nice catch-all. When we've implemented more specific post types, this will be a nice territory to scroll through if you just want to watch something that other stackers recommend. But afaict, it already works since people indeed just post links to videos in here. Guess there isn't an incentive to not do this.
So maybe the description now is too tight? Isn't this territory literally about anything, as long as it's a stream of images?
yeah, I am trying to figure out how to balance the breadth of the catch-all concept of videos with enough specificity to be coherent/interesting/useful to start. maybe "videos that other stackers recommend" is a specific enough filter.
what are you thinking when you mention "more specific post types"? is that like a different consumption experience around video content or something else?

Yeah, that sounds good

Yes, different consumption experience. For example, if a territory only allows to post images (enforced by a post type), these image posts might immediately show themselves in the feed. So you'd essentially have a image board. No need to click into posts to view the image.
I think we could do something similar for videos. Think of it as something similar to the YouTube feed but inside SN.
