Workaround for Long Video Descriptions

This is more of a suggestion for users/uploaders/video-makers than for the Developer(s). It's more in the Developer(s) favor.

 

By now you probably know about the new Video feature.

Gopher, of GophersVids, has spoken of this small problem in a video of his. I quite agree that it would be an inconvenience to users to go to a video-share page and see a long description detailing every aspect of the video, because it means a good percentage more scrolling down to the next video than usual.

 

My suggestion/workaround is to encourage video-sharer's to have a "Read More"-type quick-link of their own in their description, to save the Developers a lot more hours of coding, when users can work around it themselves in a simple manner.

 

Here is an example:

 

[insert Video Here]

 

"This is the beginning of the description of the above video. Read More..."

 

Edit: In the event of the "Read More" having a 404 Error:
