   A comment that ends up in the next message is better than just a     
   post with a [...] subject and a link without a description.   
      
   Maybe the better thing to do would be be to save the video, and     
   repost it as a new message with a comment?  But that represents     
   a waste of resources.   
      
   I don't know what the answer is.  Maybe, avoid forwarding     
   messages?

   Tell me about it! A recent Joe Rogan video podcast (that ran for     
   3 hours) was a default size of 1.8GB!   
      
   At least I have the option *not* to view any linked videos with     
   the Telegram app.
