In my humble opinion, the Technology community should only contain text news/articles or even news pictures.

I simply think that tech videos does not belong to this community, as there is already a videos community which would be more suitable for this.

What does the mods think about this?

Just don't click on YouTube links if you don't like them. Nobody makes you forces you to. No Lemmy client I know hides the URL and surprises you with video content. Plenty of video creators use that medium to showcase differences in technologies. Digital Foundry videos on topics such as frame generation come to mind.

They still clog the feed and cause accidental clicks.

At a minimum, all video posts' titles should start with [VIDEO]. Making a user scan for some easy to overlook cue that they're clicking on a video isn't great design.

So because you do occasional misclicks, nobody else should be allowed to see any video submissions, even if they are super informative? Buddy, get a grip with reality. You're not the center of the universe. Other people exist. "I don't like something, therefore nobody can have it" is not a proper attitude.

I don't like videos either tbh, but I would be ok with posts that are properly identified, so like [video] [news] [opinion] etc lol
