RCU encourages users to use
www.putfile.com for hosting videos.
www.youtube.com is another alternative for hosting videos. Both of these are free to host and there isn't any delay before you can view the videos.
To be totally honest with you I didn't even look at your videos because of the 30 second delay.
Really? Didn't want to wait 30 seconds? I think the advent of high-speed internet
has made people even less patient. But since RCU policy is to use the other services,
I'll take that into consideration next time.
My not wanting to wait 30 seconds has noting to do with "the advent of high-speed internet" at all. It has to do with the fact that as a moderator I read hundreds of posts daily. Depending on how much is bears on the conversation I will view some videos, but not all of them. But when it came to your videos I really didn't want to sit and wait. To be totally honest with you, it's more than 30 seconds. The pages on the links you provided are confusing to look at. The first one I went to I looked for 5 minutes or so and could never figure out where to click to view the video, so I just gave up. I only went back to look at them when the discussion here started up. I finally found the link to click on, but it took several minutes to find it. I must say that I understand what Elanasgrumpy was saying, that page is very confusing.
Hosting on the other video hosts is NOT "RCU policy". But simply RCU recommends using them for several reasons. They are free, they are easy to use, and they don't a lot of restrictions on them. You are always free to use whatever video hosting service you prefer. But as said above, if it's difficult to use a lot of people won't use it.
