videobam.com is pissing me off

Postby tuxedomarty » Tue May 08, 2012 8:29 pm

They keep removing my videos after a certain amount of days because of "inactivity" and not getting enough views, and that's complete BS! And I can't find any decent video hosting site other than YouTube to use for my indirect links to my videos that doesn't block videos because of copyright nonsense.
I can't stand weeaboos and people who keep badmouthing dubbed anime and say it sucks.

No, really, this is a website that hosts AMVs, and rather reliably. If you're having trouble uploading to this site, you should post in Site Help, I'm sure that can be figured out. If you're looking for hosting for non-AMVs, or just complaining about a totally unrelated site, this really isn't the place for this.

you can't really compare this site to something like youtube. Youtube and others gets you constant exposure while this site gives you a single burst of exposure and that's only if you announce it.

Well, that's fine because they "edit for themselves" anyways, rite? :awesome:

I get exposure because of this site... People come here, download my video, then go to youtube and post on a channel that is (often times) far more popular than my own. |:>

Well that's subject to how good the video is, posting it here will help other websites see it, which in turn means it will get posted up in other communities around the world...embedded on websites...and so forth.
If you only post on youtube that isn't likely to happen unless you have a big channel to back it up

The org for local hosting (seriously the best website for AMVs ever) or get your own private hosting for indirect/direct through sites like host gator or something. Of course, private hosting costs money while the org is free~ But that's up to you.

Because the #1 goal of making AMVs is exposure and whoring yourself out. My bad, I forgot that part. God knows I NEED those subscribers who just spent the past hour watching videos of people getting kicked in the nuts and cat videos.

TrueStory. Also, I don't find the need to use other sites like the org, amvnews and akross. No need to worry about copyright :nose:

true, but what if you suck? Someone coming to the hobby for the first time and getting 50 views is not as likely to stay if they get a 50 views a month (starting out) and a few comments maybe. You gotta really like the hobby for the hobby to stay without getting any feedback, and at 50 views a month you still have to like the hobby for the hobby somewhat so it's not like the only editors youtube gets that the org doesn't are flat-out attention-whores, the views and comments just serve as motivation (at least at first).

i just think it's hard for this newer generation to find any semblance of a community and feel compelled to interact without the popular video sites' style.

The vast majority of videos on YouTube have a few hundred hits and no comments. In that respect it is very much like this site.

There are some differences:

* This site has a single focus. YouTube does not.
* YouTube puts the video in your face. This site does not.
* YouTube's audience is larger. Way larger. Probably at least an order of magnitude larger.
* tuxedomarty hasn't responded to the "why don't you just upload them here?" comment, but I bet YouTube has an in-browser upload process, and I think that has something to do with it.

I think there's a project out there to address some of these differences. Oh, and I think it actually started.
