It seems to be plausible to communicate in more detail what a link or image is about, or publish additional references. At the moment this has to be done in the comments. This sucks, because OPs tend to know more about their topic than average commenters, and also may want to steer the discussion in a specific direction, provide additional references, and so on. This should be done in a dedicated text-field, and not in the comments. So Link-posts should simply be a subclass of text-posts and have just additional fields.

plz read the edit of my former post.

You can't put references, if/else clauses, listings, and so on in a title without fucking up the readability of your title, and if every title is unreadable in such a manner, the overview page of this site will become unreadable.

IMHO newspapers have it worked out well. Title, Subtitle, Description, Content.

Honestly, people post much more than others want to read. Clutter and walls of text are mostly an expression of the narcissism of the writer.

mostly.

But sometimes you need some space because of the complexity of something.
