Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?
If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?

Depends on the sort of link.
If it’s an image and doesn’t produce a thumbnail for some reason, kind of bummed 'cause I seem to run into those often on mobile & don’t like the feel of bouncing between apps/tabs on mobile as much. Similar situation with videos tbh, except add in that I don’t like listening to videos on my phone without headphones & I typically don’t have headphones on me since I’m not using my phone for that sorta thing often.
If it’s an article and the title’s simply the headline of it, I don’t mind too much. A summary or some quoted parts of the main point of the article are appreciated, especially if it’s from a paywalled site.
If it’s from an unfamiliar site with few indicators of what’s up with the link then I really would like the OP to indicate wtf they’re posting a link to in the title & body text 'cause otherwise I’m inclined to think it’s spam or worse, and generally that tends to be the case.
