These videos are still hosted on the uploader's channel so if a user clicks on one of the embedded videos, it goes straight to the uploader's video page. |
I think the way TBA works is great. The only issue is that there is no assurance that those videos won't disappear if individual user accounts are deleted/banned for some reason (I think there are already a few dead links on TBA).
If the community could store/manage the content, it would help safeguard against that possibility.

If you look at the winning submission last year from Panteras, one of the main ways they did this was providing statistics of views on their YouTube Channel. However, if their footage is stolen from them and posted elsewhere, their recordable reach of their content will decrease. This could hurt a team that's in the running for this award. |
Access to the analytics for page/load views per video is definitely possible. YouTube already does it (sometimes). Would teams be fine with those statistics, versus the 'channel views' that the Panteras used?
