I've been cleaning up some "External Sites - Trailers" sections lately. And I have to ask why, when submitting a YouTube teaser trailer link, is the word "Teaser" omitted from the accepted submission?
For example, I just submitted a description "YouTube - Teaser Trailer" for a corresponding link for the film "The Curse of La Llorona (2019)". After acceptance the link description now reads "YouTube - Trailer", leaving out the word "Teaser": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4913966/externalsites?ref_=tt_ql_rel_2
This seems to happen only when using the description "Teaser Trailer", and not when using, for example, description "Official Teaser Trailer". (At least with the site classification "YouTube". I haven't tested any other site classifications.)
The term "Teaser Trailer" is a current industry marketing standard. Why is it omitted in this specific instance in the IMDb submission process?
Thank you.
