Hey

Thought I'd share this on the forum in case others want to chim in. So I notice a lot of the articles which have videos embed, are hosted on Youtube. The problem I have with Youtube for a long time now is, it's their platform which means they can suspend channels, owners of videos can remove them or delete their channels, etc.

Look at Drexel Scott's articles for instance. Many are completely useless these days because the videos no longer exist. And other articles from other random Youtube channels, are going missing as well.

Just a suggestion I'd like to make...

Girls Chase could look into having their own host for these videos so that the quality of the articles remains the same years or decades to come. If you could work out with the original content creators to purchase a lifetime license to use the video, that content creator could then give you the video to host on Girls Chase platform for life.

That's an added expense for sure to Chase pockets, and so I'm more than happy to pay my fair share to facilitate such a move. In fact, I'm currently subscribed to Girls Chase monthly membership. I'll even pay more if I have to so Chase and the team can get this done. Since hosting videos on a private platform will cost you money.

Anyhow just my thoughts. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

If I am not mistaken, Chase is working on such a solution. When we link to youtube videos, the uploader may remove it and there is nothing we can really do about it.



Best,

@Troy,

We have our own video site, which I hope to premiere in the next several weeks, in fact. It's just about ready (I should probably be buzz building for it a bit more. It's been in development since about a year ago when I figured with all the bannings we wouldn't likely be able to stay on YouTube forever).

The problem with a lot of YouTube content is if we don't own the content, we can't repost it. Otherwise we risk running into copyright issues.

However, for our own content, it'll all be on the video site.

I have a bunch of my own videos there. They won't be available on YouTube -- the only place you'll be able to see my content is on our video site.

That’s exciting. Did I read somewhere you’re looking to eventually evolve this site Into something like the YouTube for seduction, where others would be able to contribute? If so I think that could be Big. As YouTube cuts down more and more, you guys could be the Platform for this type of get-girls, or evening overall politically incorrect content. Killer idea.

@alleniverson,

Yes, precisely. I've spoken with a few guys in the space outside GC and they've all been interested in the idea.

We're going to launch with in-house only (will just be Hector's and my videos on there at first). Then once we've got an idea what the traffic and subscription numbers look like, we'll start gradually opening it up to other guys in the space.

Have to go kind of slow about that and be careful, rather than just letting anyone jump on and upload videos, because I don't envy YouTube all the monitoring and censoring it needs to do, say of copyrighted content, pornography, or anything else you really don't want being hosted on a server you control.

But yeah, that's the ultimate goal -- "a new video home for seduction (since it's getting kicked off everywhere else)."

It seems like youtube is not allowing us to embed anyone's videos. I tried to embed @Steve Jabba 's vid, but when I did, it said "video unavailable". I highly doubt Steve did anything to block it from being posted here, so it must be an issue either with the forum itself, in which case the technical team needs to look into it, or... youtube is blocking us from reposting vids.

So it must be something tech related. I have my own forum - it's an incision community platform. The embed of that video works just fine over there.

For what it's worth, I am very impressed with the invision forum software. They're on the ball, it looks beautiful, and they are receptive to feedback. I'd reccommend.

Well, that is truly weird.

Is our site banned from embedding YouTube?

I just tried embedding one of our videos and I get the same message.

We used to always be able to embed. We had many videos embedded here before.

I'll ask Haseeb to investigate any potential technical issues.

Seems others had the same issue a few months back and may have been patched:

Couldn't resist googling from my software dev days lol

Good find, @Train.

Seems that's likely it.

We'll see about patching the site.

Always something going wrong, eh?
