# What makes a bad segment?
Users are encouraged to report (AKA downvote) and avoid making segments with the following issues:
1. **It cuts information relevant to the video's subject.** Always avoid this.
2. **The whole video is about (or closely related to) the thing you're making a segment on.**
* For example, if the whole video is a sponsor, don't make sponsor segments.
* If the video isn't entirely about a sponsor but could show bias for it, don't cut sponsor disclosures.
3. **The transition feels awkward (poorly timed, not seamless).** For example, when possible, avoid cutting in the middle of words, or on an unfinished sentence. The other points take precedence, however.
* You are encouraged to cut segues (sections made specifically to smoothly move into a sponsor)
4. **It sneaks things not relevant to the segment type or not necessary to make the segment seamless.**
5. **It's not a time-consuming segment.**
* Don't cut what is merely visual and occurs during actual content.
* If it's way too short (less than 2 seconds) ***and*** introduces awkward transitions, prefer against doing it.
