Posting AMVs on Youtube.

Would you think any less of an AMV maker who put their work up on Youtube before putting selected works up here?

I wouldn't think any less of them...
There are lots of good editors that have the works they make on other sites insted of this one.

by the way...
What the heck is a boochsack?!

Not so much intended at a insult to you as a complaint about the recent trend in the community. Who gives a Godix what others think. Srsly people.

New word filter already? I liked Hot Satchel! YOU-TUBE!

youtube. hosatchel. youtube.

Bypassing it is still easy (the worst part is I learned it by quoting Phade

)

Some people probably do it to avoid having other people put there things on youtube before they do. If the video is on their account before it gets to other peoples' accounts, the hosatchel managers (i intend to type hosatchel forever regardless of the changes) "have" to remove it.

I still don't see why they care, but it's their problem not mine. I'm actually flattered to know that two of my videos have already been stolen and reproduced.

I'm still saddened that that one Cafepress seller took down her shirt that said "HOSATCHEL: When you really don't care what it looks like."

It would seem I didn't actually put the image on my webspace while I could still get it through Google caching...

What's the point of these word filters again?

Nominally the point of the world filters are to protect a-m-v.org from being associated with hosatchel during a metasearch, etc...

In addition, they're just funny.

To answer the OP:

That depends on the intent.

Not to say I don't see pluses to youtube, but my question to any serious AMV editor is "why?". The only explanation I can see is lazyness. The .org is not substantially more difficult to use than youtube, and yet it offers far superior quality and many purpose-built features to accommodate the AMV community's special demands.

I go to youtube mostly to watch cheap videos of shit blowing up. It's just easier to find there. I wouldn't say the same for AMVs, nor would I usually put AMVs into the same category as shit blowing up.

I wouldn't think less of them, but I would wonder why they did it. If it's because you can't figure out how to work ftp, then that's just laziness. If it's to get quick guaranteed feedback, it makes perfect sense to me. You might not get harsh critics over there, but people are a lot more likely to respond to videos on that site than they are to even leave QCs here, let alone 2+ sentence ops.

I got more feedback on my last vid over there than I did here - most of the ops I got here were actually *from* people who saw it there. I had a direct link over there, no reference to the org at all, so that tells me how far out of their way they went to find the vid here and leave feedback on it. Unsolicited feedback is a lot slower over here for mediocre videos.
