Within limits, everyone is entitled to their own style of posting of course, but I personally agree with OccultHawk's OP as well as these two opinions:-

Some kind of comment about it goes a long way toward piquing my interest.

I'll tell ya what i do dislike, i dislike half assed OP for threads that only have a youtube video to explain the damn thread, that or when the OP feels lazily written and vague.

^ Actually, both of these points are covered in an excellent guide to posting etiquette that was composed years ago by Freebase, I believe, though I can't find the thread at the moment.
Not always, but in general, I'm too lazy to click on YouTube clips that people are too lazy to introduce in some way. I'm here to enjoy music and discussion and something posted without comment doesn't really encourage discussion. In fact, they can give the impression of being arrogant or unfriendly, ("My taste is so good, I don't have to explain it."), though I freely admit that that interpretation may be down to me and various old-fashioned notions about writing.
On the positive side, I'm happy to see that some conversation killers have actually fallen out of fashion; Do you remember these:-
'Nuff said.
