As a #vidder I used to have youtube block my videos all of the time. I found that I could get around some of the blocking with a vimeo account, but no more.
Two of my videos disappeared from Vimeo this week. Probably due to copyright issues, but I didn't get an email or anything. Just a link to a page that says SORRY THIS VIDEO DOES NOT EXIST.
Do you know how demoralizing that is? To feel that another Purge is on its way.
I can recommend 2 alternatives: vidders.net is a privately run website that has been around for 10+ years. You create a free account and contact the administrator. It's whitelisted on #ArchiveOfOurOwn so you'll be able to embed your video and stream from there
The other alternative is the #InternetArchive. They too are whitelisted on #AO3 so you can embed and stream from there. Use the AO3 vid page as a central placeholder for all of your streaming sources
I would suggest you use both alternatives to maximize your streams
The final location is called CriticalCommons.org. You have to apply for an account, explaining your purpose, and when you upload your video write a short paragraph explaining it transformative nature. It's a site devoted to analyzing and discussing media culture
Realizing I should make a pinned intro with hashtags. I’m Speranza aka Cesperanza, in #fandom since the 1980s and online since the 1990s, #dueSouth archivist, #OTW and #AO3 founder, #fanfic writer and sometimes #vidder, currently writing #MCU#stucky but with many other fandoms and #startrek forever. I believe in a #DIY nonprofit #opensource ethos for fandom. I get by with a lot of help from my friends. Fandom is my fandom.
To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
