seriously? Blog spam because we decided to share the videos with our readers in one post? We didn't post it here either btw.
It's not so much that your post is blog spam -- in fact, it's good that you're getting the videos out there to people who would otherwise not know about them -- but to this audience, the much more valuable link is the direct YouTube link.
Understand, but hopefully you can see how "blog spam" sounds derogatory towards us.
Been called worse though, will get on with my day :)
Don't take it personally. The comment was towards the original poster, not the original author.
HN'ers typically prefer the original source, never the aggregated-blog version.
I don't think it's a blog spam, as long as it serves its purpose well, which is to let people know the videos are online. For me - it does
Can you submit youtube videos on HN? I'd rather have this in the main stories list than the blog spam
