      No probs! There also appears to be a longer teaser vid on YT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3izOJ7zX5I0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3izOJ7zX5I0

  Out of curiosity what is the monetary benefit of self hosting streaming video?
  • coherentpony 13y ago
    I dunno dude. I can't seem to play anything on slate. ghostery blocks it. So I disable ghostery and the video element loads. I click play and the video does not play. YouTube works fine with ghostery. I want to watch shit online without people watching me. I don't think that's unreasonable. Lots of sites try to make it really fucking hard, though. /end rant

      If sites embedding video would simply post links to the YouTube content, that would help markedly. I had the same problem FWIW: absolutely nothing on Slate's page evidenced that there was video let alone where it was hosted. Thanks HN for pointing out the sources.

      I use disconnect.me which is similar to ghostery, doesn't have that problem.

    ad revenue back to Slate as opposed to Youtube?
    • frankydp 13y ago
      Is the ad revenue share from youtube < self hosted ad revenue - cost of hosting video and streaming it. Honestly do not know. But seems unlikely.

    No risk of losing traffic to youtube and branding.

      Unfortunately, it had the exact opposite effect.
