When will we be able to post an actual video on here without it being linked to YouTube?

A bit of a depressing afternoon after learning that YouTube is once again attacking our sport/hobby. They are also attacking what ever else the powers that be over there, consider a weapon. I’m curious when this platform will allow posting of videos directly so that we can continue to provide reviews without the need to attach a YouTube link. That platform is essentially an enemy of our constitution as well as our air hobby.

@PA_AirHead What is the current depressing news on YouTube? Can you please share a link?

Waaay back, when I started Hard Air Magazine, I had to make a choice between making a "video magazine" hosted for free on YouTube, or a magazine with "static content" where I own - and pay for - the hosting. I chose the latter and have sucked-up the cost ever since due to fears of precisely the issue you mention.

Hosting video on the HAM Community is a possibility. But there's a TON of work to make it work. Plus another TON of additional bandwidth charges. In other words, (relatively) big Bucks!

It would be a very significant business decision for me to add video hosting to the HAM Community. I'll keep it under consideration, but please don't hold your breath...

Thanks for considering it! I’m new here and just learning it all and didn’t realize until yesterday about this when I tried posting a video. Outside of that slight issue I’m enjoying it here. Thank you.

@Billm Thanks for informing me. I have my head down creating content pretty-well continuously and don't have time to watch much YouTube. Very discouraging

I didn’t see it either and had to really search for it.
