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.gotegenks wrote:you can't really compare this site to something like youtube.

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).AceD wrote: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

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

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.
