Do you have any suggestions about the state of the !videos community or thoughts you’d like to share? Rules you wish should be implemented, or just a request for the kind of content you’d like to see be posted here? Comment below!

And if you have any similar communities you’d like be featured in the sidebar let me know and I’ll add them!

This thread explains the rationale: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3sure8/introducing_rpoliticalvideo/

The end result of this was that all videos that had even a slight connection to politics were removed, and the politicalvideo subreddit never took off.

This makes sense… Allowing political videos invites people with agendas to abuse the ranking system to push that agenda. It could overshadow the promise of a community for cool videos on the internet.
