> Snap, TikTok, LinkedIn

Idrk how someone would link to Snap, links to TikTok are really uncommon for some reason, LinkedIn is in a different market and is likely less of a direct competitor

> YouTube

This one is too big with no well known alternative, he wouldn't get away with it

Would be hard to ban any mention of or links to YouTube, since it's not "just" a social media platform, but also used for video hosting.

Twitter of course hosts videos too, but it's a lot less advanced.

What is an advanced video ?

I don't know if this was a serious question, but Twitter's support for video is less advanced. Really, it's clear that it's never been a priority.

The maximum duration is 140s, max file size is 512MB, max resolution is 1280x1024, they use the browser's basic HTML player, and their compression makes all videos look like crap.

I didn't say the videos were less advanced, I said the hosting was.

The other reply explains it better than I could.

youtube allows 'chapters' for their videos and they're immensely helpful

Gab not banned either
