Would "extremely impolite mass-promoter of low-quality content" be a better description, then? It's less rude and more specific.

I think "low-quality content" can be subjective. There's content on saidit I don't care to interact with, so I don't. I do think there are limits certainly, such as spam/malicious web sites, abusive/threatening language, and stalking or trolling, but I don't see that going on at s/videos. Furthermore, s/videos doesn't have any guidelines on the type of content to be posted to that sub, only the name videos. Although, it does not look like s/videos currently has a mod. Again, it would seem logical to me for a user to just not interact with content they don't want to and/or start a sub for content they want to attract.

Correct on all counts. It's totally subjective, unless we start holding linked content culpable to the Pyramid of Debate. (… actually, should we do that?)

Though I still wouldn't call spamming clickbaity videos to be "politely sharing high-quality content".
