/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I find that approach really diminishes some of the great scenes that rely on pauses and pace for dramatic effect. I agree that some Star Trek stuff is rather slow (and it feels even slower when you hit one of the worse episodes) but defaulting to accelerating content just doesn't feel right.
Lots of YouTube is intentionally lengthened for view time/metrics balance to entice the algorithm. Spiffing Brit does this very well by padding his videos with nonsense for the first five or ten minutes, however much time he needs to pad the meat and potatoes, and his viewership metrics show it works. For that reason I do find myself speeding up YouTube, though having SponsorBlock on also helps a lot.
