Pointless, less than having a point

 I like to link things.  Lots of times, I find videos, articles, or posts that articulate one of my points really well.  The problem with posting links like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pskIQVjAzdw&t=475s in my blog is that eventually they will do dead.  Videos are deleted, web pages disappear, etc...  Still, the temptation is there to use them.  In the moment, they are fantastic.  Years later, they make for a pointless post.  As a post:  Subject line reading, "Check this out," with a body of only http://www.deadpage.edu/reallycoolresearch for the reader is pretty friggen pointless.
